Former world IBF jr lightweight champion Robbie Peden (25-3) will return to ring action on March 9 in Brisbane, Queensland, against Ranee Ganoy (21-10-2) of the Philippines in a twelve round IBF regional title bout on a card presented by leading Queensland promoter Angelo De Carlo. Peden won the IBF title in 2005 when he scored a TKO 8 over Nate Campbell. He lost the championsip in 2005 when he dropped a twelve round decision to Marco Antonio Barrera. Ganoy has been in the ring with world rated Michael Katsidis and Noufell Ben Rabah. In 2006 he scored his best win when he stopped former commonwealth welterweight champion Fatai Onkeke (18-1) of Nigeria in seven rounds. De Carlo said, “This will be a great fight. Robbie is a former world champion who always comes to fight and Ganoy has proven he can mix it with the best after stopping Onikeke last year.”
