Sports

THIS year’s final installment of “Kumong Bol-Anon” boxing series will feature an explosive main event.

PMI Bohol Boxing Stable’s Richard “The Badz” Laspona and India’s Pradish Anbuchezhian will fight for the vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) Asia flyweight in the main event of Kumong Bol-Anon 27 on Dec. 19 in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.

Beyond chasing the regional title, the 24-year-old Laspona, a native of Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, is gunning for a win to put his career back on track.

Laspona started his career with 11 straight wins highlighted by seven stoppage but stumbled in his last assignment last May when he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Cebuano Arvin Jhon Paciones in their 10-round showdown for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Oriental flyweight title.

Out to foil Laspona’s bid to get back on track is Anbuchezhian, a 25-year-old fighter who is new to fighting on foreign soil.

Anbuchezhian has fought in Russia and Thailand and carries a 10W-3L-1D,6KOs record.

Anbuchezhian is on a two-fight winning streak with the back-to-back wins coming via knockout.

Other fights in the card spearheaded by the PMI Bohol Boxing Promotions led by its CEO Atty. Floriezyl Echavez Podot will be announced soon.(CCM)
