World Boxing Federation (WBF) Asia
Pacific Super Bantamweight Champion
Seong Yeong Yang, 9-2-5 (4), will
make his second title-defense on
June 11 in Gunsan, South Korea.
He will take on hard-punching
Jirawat Thammachot, 8-2 (8), from
Thailand, on a card presented by
KeukDong Promotion.
Yang won the WBF title in October of
2019, stopping Fan Cai from China in
seven rounds. Last December he made
his first defense, scoring a close
but unanimous decision over Filipino
Ryan Rey Pontreras.
For 24-year-old Thammachot, it will
be his first professional
championship fight, having turned
pro in 2020 and lost his first two
outings.
Since then
he has not looked back, won eight
straight inside the distance, and
will be a risky proposition for the
defending champion.
