By Lito delos Reyes

New World Boxing Association Asia flyweight champion Jeny Boy “Tiger” Boca of Bukidnon arrive in Pakistan today (Dec. 16) to fight against Muhammad “Falcon” Waseem of Pakistan on Dec. 19 at the Governor House Punjab in Lahore.

Boca (14W-6L-0D, 12KOs) arrived with his trainer Alan Alegria, former Philippine welterweight champion.

Boca, however, will only be fighting a 10-round non-title fight.

Boca recently won a technical knockout in the 4th round against Sarawut Thawornkham of Thailand last March 1, 2020, to win the vacant WBC Asia flyweight title at the Suamlum Night Bazaar in Ratchadaphisek, Bangkok.

Waseem (10W-1L-0D, 7KOs), on the other hand, recently beat Ganigan Lopez of Mexico by a unanimous decision last Nov 22, 2019, at Caesars Palace in Dubai.

Meanwhile, the co-main event will be the WBC middle east title between Pakistan featherweight champion Nadir Baloch (9W-0L, 7KOs) and Jawad Hassan (6W-0L, 2KOs) of Afghanistan.

Baloch scored a split decision against Hamid Khan while Hassan won by a majority decision over Muhammad Sikandar Abbasi both last Oct. 3, 2020, at Amir Khan Boxing Hall in Islamabad,

Former WBC Silver welterweight champion Amir “King” Khan of AK Promotions is promoting this boxing event.
