‘Civil War’ in Cebu on October 27
CEBU, Philippines — Omega Boxing Gym mainstay Jahleel ‘Cebuano Disaster’ Payao (15-1, 19KOs) will defend his Philippine bantamweight title against Peñalosa Stable’s Renerio Arizala (13-7, 2KOs) in the main event of “Who’s Next? 5” pro boxing series dubbed as ‘Civil War’ on October 27 at the Mandaue City Sports and Cultural Complex.
“This is a test for Jahleel. If he will have an impressive performance in this fight then we can give him a shot at the regional title,” said Omega Pro Sports International Vice President Jerome Calatrava. “We are thinking of a WBO regional belt if he succeeds in this fight.”
Payao snared the Philippine crown with a lopsided unanimous decision over Jason Tinampay last March 8 at the Cawayan Social Center in Masbate.
Arizala, on the other hand, is itching to bounce back from his fifth straight loss against Jake Bornea lasy May 12 in Davao City.
In the supporting bout, veteran Jason Canoy (26-7, 12KOs) will go up against Rambo Lagos (11-4, 7KOs) in a 10-round bantamweight showdown.
The rest of the card pits Kenny Demecillo vs Gerpaul Valero; Tomjune Mangubat vs Crisanto Contemprato; Rimon Rama vs Richard Bulacan; Salatiel Amit vs Ramil Antaran; Jimboy Haya vs Elias Joaquino; Jay-ar Aliasot vs Renan Portes; Mark Vicelles vs Rey Tagulaylay; Marjun Piencenaves vs Arnel Acebuque; Royder Lloyd Borbon vs Jerson Bancil; and Ponciano Rimandiman vs John Kenan Villaflor.
