Toboso-born Merlito ‘Tiger’ Sabillo will be looking to defend his Asian Boxing Federation (ABF) lightweight title against Crimson Omayao of Valencia City, Bukidnon in “Fist of Glory: Double Championship-Road to Glory,” scheduled to take place today at the SM City Bacolod parking area.

The 33-year-old fighter earned the title earlier this year after knocking down Indonesian boxer Jack ‘Destroyer’ Amisa in the third round at the Gaisano City Mall-Bacolod.

Meanwhile, the undercard bouts for the event include a fight for the interim Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) flyweight title between Jayr Raquinel of Cauayan and Richard Rosales of Tagbilaran City, Bohol; along with Ernesto Alira of Murcia against Michael Zulueta of Bacolod City, Elmer Libo-on of Murcia versus Paolo Sy of Bacolod City, and Tomas Rebusit of Murcia taking on Mark Mahilum of San Carlos City./JSG, WDJ
