By Dong Secuya

Into the African Night Alvin Camique captured the WBF world bantamweight crown last Friday…

Apolinar (L) and Santisima (R).

STABLEMATES Pete Apolinar and Alex Santisima Jr. of Zip Sanman Promotions will face different opponents on Friday, June 19 at the Edion Hisaya Plaza in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.

The 31-year-old Apolinar [19-7-1, 12KOs] will fight Ryusei Ishii [12-9-1, 9KOs] in an 8-rounder.

Apolinar lost to Kenji Fujita by a unanimous decision for the WBO Asia Pacific featherweight title last December 6 in Tokyo.

Santisima [12-2-0, 6KOs], on the other hand, will face compatriot and Japan-based Richard “The Beast” Pumicpic [23-15-3, 7KOs] also for 8-rounds.

The 26-year-old Santisima bowed to Wensong Liu of China by a 5th round technical knockout for the vacant WBC Far East featherweight title last June 22 in Yantai.
