About Cristian Araneta

Christian Aniadas “The Bomb” Araneta (born March 16, 1995 in Cebu) is a Filipino southpaw competing at light flyweight. Turning pro in 2013, he captured the WBO Oriental light flyweight title in 2017 and the WBC ABCO Silver title in 2018, building a reputation for explosive knockouts. He fought in multiple IBF title eliminators, including bouts against Daniel Valladares (2019) and Sivenathi Nontshinga (2021), and later scored a first-round stoppage of Arvin Magramo in 2024 to earn another eliminator victory. In June 2025, he challenged Thanongsak Simsri for the vacant IBF light flyweight championship in Tokyo, losing by split decision. As of January 2026, his professional record stands at 28 fights, 25 wins (20 by KO), and 3 losses.
