Frenchman Guillaume Lorenzo won the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Lightweight title on Wednesday, August 24, at the Sanman Gym in General Santos City, Philippines.
Fighting for the sixth time in the Philippines, Lorenzo scored a fourth round technical knockout, when his opponent, Filipino Joe Tejones, retired on his stool after the third.
Before that it had been Lorenzo in control, as he was on the offensive from the start and Tejones forced on the back-foot. After three rounds, he didn’t feel he could do any more of that.
A professional since 2017, Lorenzo (28) improved his professional record to 9-4 (6), while Tejones (25) falls to 13-11 (7).
The fight headlined a massive fifteen-bout card, billed as “Sanman Bubble X”, staged by Sanman Promotions.
