Two World Boxing Federation
World titles will be on the line
this coming Saturday, November
17, in Acapulco, Mexico, as Luis
Ceja and Ganigan Lopez square
off for the vacant Light
Flyweight title, and Cesar
Vasquez takes on Jesus Cruz
Bibiano for the vacant crown at
Super Featherweight.
On the same night in Los
Angeles, US-based Ukrainian
Anatoliy Dudchenko fights fellow
L.A. resident Tyrell Hendrix for
the vacant WBF Intercontinental
Light Heavyweight Championship.
At the Unidad Deportiva in
Acapulco, 22-year-old Luis Ceja,
22-2-3 (18), will be in his
first World title fight in what
is his fourth scheduled twelve
round bout, while Southpaw
Ganigan Lopez, 20-5 (14), is
nine years older and more
experienced with ten
championship fights and several
regional titles under his belt,
but also entering his first
crack at world honors.
In the co-feature Cesar “Saba”
Vasquez, 25-1 (16), might have a
tougher time than he expects
against Jesus Cruz Bibiano, who
brings a deceiving record of 9-9
(5), but has proven his class in
competitive fights against very
good opposition.
Vasquez and Bibiano will also
both be in their first World
Championship fights, but if you
know their fighting-styles you
know this will be a very
competitive encounter. While
Vasquez is undoubtedly the
favorite, Bibiano is definitely
a live underdog despite his
modest resume.
Luiz Ceja vs. Ganigan Lopez for
the WBF World Light Flyweight
title and Cesar Vasques vs.
Jesus Cruz Bibiano for the WBF
World Super Featherweight title
will be promoted by Baja Boxing,
Promociones Del Pueblo and KO
Entertainment, and will be aired
Live throughout Mexico on Cadena
3.
In Los Angeles, Anatoliy
Dudchenko and Tyrell Hendrix is
set to go to war for the WBF
Intercontinental Light
Heavyweight title at the
Westin Bonaventure Hotel.
Dudchenko, 16-2 (11), turned pro
in his native Ukraine in 2002,
but has since fought exclusively
in America.
A late bloomer in the game,
Duchenko has progressed rather
slowly, and will fight for his
first title at 34 years of age
against Hendrix who is five
years younger and brings a 9-1-2
(3) ledger. Both guys haven’t
lost for a long time, and since
both are from L.A., and bring
their own group of supporters,
it should be an interesting
night of boxing.

Heavyweight title fight is
