Antoine has reached an agreement with the Philippines ALA Promotions to challenge for the WBO International Light Welterweight Championship currently held by Jason ?El Nino? Pagara of Philippines?. The undefeated Antoine who has not been defeated in 18 fights boasts of a 50% knock out rate and would post to be quite a challenge as he is naturally athletic and young like the Filipino Pagara. Given the monicker ?Hands of Stone?, Antoine, Won 17 (KO 9) Lost 0 Draw 1, possesses and packs a mean punch as reflected on the official records with 9 opponents not going past the 5th round and 6 of those did not go past the 2nd round.

Bautista who will be facing dangerous Daniel Ruiz of Mexico for the WBO International Featherweight Championship.  |
