“Shake rattle and roll!” Taduran aims to dent Menayothin`s WBC crown

Pedro Taduran, from Libon, Albay, Philippines, will challenge the minimumweight champion of the World Boxing  Council, Thai Wanheng Menayothin, on August 28.

The fight for the title will be held in the province of Nakhon Sawan, Thailand, where the champion  makes the tenth defense of his crown.

Taduran has a record of 12 wins with 9 knockouts and one loss, being ranked 14 in the WBC ratings.

Nicknamed “Rattle Snake,” he is the Philippine National Minimumweight Champion. That title was won by defeating fellow countryman Jerry Tomogdan by knockout in the fifth round.

Taduran knows that the mission of traveling to challenge the undefeated champion in his own home will be complicated, but he assures that he has undergone a great preparation and is brimming with confidence.
