The WBA Asia third man in charge was referee Prommase Chakshuraksha of Thailand.

The rewarding result is Andika’s most important victory in his 4-year boxing career, a triumph that is likely to insert him into the WBA Light Flyweight world-rankings 💥💥

This is the lighting-fast 108-pound weight-class where the reigning WBA “super champion” is undefeated hard-hitting Japanse Hiroto Kyoguchi (12-0, 9 KO’s), and the current WBA “regular” champion is ruthless brawler Carlos Cañizales (21-0-1, 17 KO’s) of Venezuela.

WBA Asia executive Won Kim of Korea flew-in to Indonesia to award the shinning belt to the 23-year-old Andika Sabu, an Indonesian 108-pounder warrior ready for more challenging missions.
