Timbang na at handang-handa nang makipag-digmaan!
Pinoy welterweight warrior Reymond Yanong successfully cleared the scales today, set to lock horns with Japan’s rising hitman Sora Tanaka (5-1, 5 KOs) this Wednesday, August 19, on the high-octane Ohashi Promotions fight card.
⚖️ Official Weights & Fight Records:
🇵🇭 Reymond Yanong — 66.36 kg (146.3 lbs) | Record: 19-11-1, 13 KOs
🇯🇵 Sora Tanaka — 66.30 kg (146.1 lbs) | Record: 5-1, 5 KOs
💥 High Stakes in the Land of the Rising Sun!
The 32-year-old "Robocop" Reymond Yanong of Escalante, Negros Occidental, enters the ring filled with puso and inspiration because of the explosive knockout wins of fellow Pinoys Kenneth Albino and Alex Santisima Jr. Sunday in Japan.
"Galing sa puso ang saya nung nakita ko silang manalo," shared a determined Yanong. "Ngayon, ako naman ang isasabak. Ibibigay ko ang lahat para sa bayan!"
Both, Yanong and Tanaka, are coming off bitter losses, needing so bad to score the win. Who will succeed?
Siyempre, the slugger Tanaka, 25, born in Kawasaki, holds the hometown advantage —pero Yanong of the Highland Boxing Gym brings the unyielding Laban Pinoy spirit to Japanese soil!!
👉 MAIN EVENT: 🇵🇭 ERSON TRINIDAD FIGHTS 🇯🇵 TAKERO KITANO FOR OPBF 105 LBS.
