MANILA, Philippines - Former WBA interim super flyweight champion Drian Francisco (20-1-1, 16 KOs) of Touch Gloves gym, and Michael Domingo (41-15-2, 19 KOs) of the ALA stable slug it out on Sept. 25 at the Makati Coliseum in a bid to boost their respective bids for a possible crack at the world crown.
The fight will be aired on Solar Sports at 3 p.m. on Sept. 25.
Francisco appeared to be on his way to stardom after winning the WBA interim super flyweight championship. He was undefeated, beating a couple of big names only to lose to a lightly regarded Tepparith Singwancha of Thailand in his defense of the 115-lb crown.
After that setback, Francisco and his team decided that it would be best to move to a higher weight division.
Domingo, on the other hand, is out to make a good impression as member of Cebu’s ALA Gym. He got his chance at a title eliminator but lost via unanimous decision to South Africa’s Vusi Malinga.
