ALA Promotions and ABS-CBN Sports? Pinoy Pride X, the tenth installment of the boxing mega-series, features some of the most promising fighters pitted against high-caliber opponents from different parts of the world.

The 26-year-old fighter from Davao City will be back in the ring five months after gaining the Philippines Light Welterweight title. He now aspires to set a new achievement under his record: the OPBF Light Welterweight Championship.

Bautista and Miguel Angel Mendoza who is coming in undefeated with 17 wins and 17 KO?s for the IBF International Featherweight Championship.  |
