DAVAO CITY-- Former world champion Randy “Razor” Petalcorin of Davao City will fight Jetly Purisima of Gen. Santos City on September 9 at the Polomolok Gym in Polomolok, South Cotabato.
The 8-rounder bout is one of the undercards in the “Road to Stardom” fight card of the Sanman Boxing Promotions.
Petalcorin, who holds a record of 26 wins, two losses and 19 knockouts, captured the IBF Pan Pacific light flyweight title via a unanimous decision win against Arnold Garde last December 4 at Robinson’s Gensan.
The 25-year-old Petalcorin, a former WBA world light flyweight champion, previously stopped Mark Anthony Florida in the 6th round last February 26 at the Lagao Gym in Gensan. Purisima (21W-23L-4D, 7KOs), on the other hand, is hungry to score a victory since he is already coming from five straight losses.
A former Philippine Boxing Federation light flyweight champion, Purisima was stopped by Raymond Tabugon in the 7th round in his last fight held last May 12 in Davao.The 29-year old Purisima also earlier bowed to Mike Plania, Lolito Sonsona, Jason Canoy and Genesis Libranza.
Meanwhile, pitted in the main event is IBF Youth super flyweight champion Jade Bornea (8-0, 5 KOs) defending his title against first challenger Jakkrawut Majoogoen (19-1-0, 11 KOs) of Thailand.
The main supporting bout is the championship fight for the vacant Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) Silver bantamweight title between Ben Mananquil (14W-1L-2D, 3KOs) of Gensan and Rhey Waminal (11W-1L-0D, 6KOS) of Thailand. (Lito delos Reyes/PNA
