The next installment of Sanman
Promotions “Brawl At The Mall”
series goes ahead on Saturday
April 30 at the Makati Square
Cinema Boxing Arena in Makati
City, Metro Manilla,
Philippines, headlined by a
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
championship fight.
Undefeated prospects “Magic”
Mike Plania, a 19-year-old from
General Santos City, and Lorence
Rosas (21), hailing from Puerto
Princesa City, will vie for the
vacant WBF International
Bantamweight crown in what will
be both boxers first title
fight.
While the younger man by almost
three years and a professional
for a shorter time, Plania has
been the more active of the two
and currently spots a fine 9-0
record, with four wins inside
the distance. Southpaw Rosas
brings a 5-0-2 ledger to the
bout, having stopped two of his
opponents before the final bell.
The card, which will be free to
the public, also features WBF
International Featherweight
Champion John Vincent Moralde,
15-0 (7), in a non-title
ten-rounder against tough former
Philippines national champion
Jimmy Aducal, 8-5-2 (6).
Additionally there will be eight
preliminary bouts.
On the same night in Kampala,
Uganda, local hero David
Basajjamivule fights Tanzanian
Mbaruku Kheri for the vacant
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Intercontinental Light
Heavyweight title in the main
event of a show at the Sheraton
Kampala Hotel.
Basajjamivule is 15-3-1 (10)
since entering the paid ranks in
2002. The draw came in his pro
debut, while his losses were
against very good opposition in
top-class operators Isaac
Chilemba (twice) and Ryno
Liebenberg, all in South Africa.
He is coming off two victories
in Uganda.
Kheri has emerged victorious
from his last four outings, and
most of his defeats since
turning professional in 2005 has
also come against good
opposition. His professional
record stands at 16-8 (14), and
he definitely has the power to
shock the favored Basajjamivule
if given the opportunity.
