Exciting undefeated Filipino
prospect John Vincent Moralde
will be looking to continue his
impressive rise in the sport
when he squares off with fellow
countryman Anthony “Zorro”
Sabalde for the vacant World
Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Featherweight
title on Saturday February 13 in
General Santos City.
Billed as “Brawl At The Mall:
Glory”, the fight will headline
a show promoted by Sanman
Promotions at the Gaisano Mall
of Gensan, and both fighters
have been quite vocal about
their intentions of coming out
victorious and claiming the WBF
title.
“I
usually don’t take my opponents
lightly, but I know I will be
victorious in this fight. I have
confidence in my ability, and I
know that I will soon be a world
champion”, said the 14-0 (7)
Moralde when the intriguing
match-up was announced by the
promoter.
Moralde (21) turned professional
at seventeen in 2011, and won
the Philippines national Super
Bantamweight crown in 2014.
Later that year he captured the
WBF International Super
Bantamweight title, before
moving up to Featherweight in
2015.
Fighting out of Cebu City,
Southpaw Sabalde, 10-4 (5), has
also been confident in the
build-up, albeit more humble in
his approach, saying:
“Lets
just see who gets knocked out
during the fight. This is the
biggest fight of my career, and
I am up against a tough
opponent. This is a very
important fight for me, and I
will do everything possible to
win.”
