TWO championship fights in the WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental will be held tomorrow at the Balai Sarbini Convention Hall in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Indonesian James Mokoginta (34W-18L-3D, 21 KOs) will be making his first title defense of his WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental featherweight title against Thailand’s Manot Comput (15W-18L-0D, 9KOs) in the main event.
The other 12-round title-bout is for the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental super bantamweight crown between Indonesian Ruben Manakane (21W-17L-1D, 12 KOs) and Thai boxer Taweechai Juntarasuk (13W-4L-0D, 9 KOs).
The 26-year old Mokoginta won the vacant featherweight title by stopping Artid Bamrungauea via a 2nd round technical knockout last July 8 at the same venue.
Comput, on the other hand, has won his last two fights via the short route. He first TKO’d San Daochuai in the first round last August 16 in Bangkok.
A week later, Comput immediately climbed back to the ring to stop Anuwat Phayakphan in the first round on Aug. 23 also in Bangkok.
Both Manakane and Juntarasuk has won all their last two outings.
Manakane, 24, previously beat Filipino Edison Berwela by a majority decision last July 8 after stopping fellow Indonesian Artid Barmrungauea by a 5th round knockout last May 21 in Jakarta.
Juntarasuk TKO’d Patiphan Prajuabsook in the 2nd round last August 23 after he won on point against Boyee Satabanpala Suksa Srisak last July 14.
