South Korean World Boxing Federation
(WBF) Asia Pacific Lightweight ruler
Min Hyuk Jang will defend his title
against Thailand's Wachirasak
Waiyawong on November 2 at the
Dalseong Arena in Daegu.
Jang, 13-0-1 (10), won the title in
June of 2022, stopping another Thai,
Rachata Khaophimai, in three rounds.
In 2023 he moved down to
Featherweight and first drew with
Peng Huang for the vacant WBF
International title, but later in
the year scored a split decision
against the Chinese to win his
second WBF title.
Now back at Lightweight, he can
expect a stern challenge from
Waiyawong, 7-5-1 (4), who is a
former Asia Boxing Federation
champion at Super Lightweight.
His mediocre record not doing him
justice, Waiyawong won the ABF title
in June of 2022 by defeating former
IBF world champion Amnat Ruenroeng.
