After a two-year layoff, former world boxing champion Milan Melindo returns to the ring.
MANILA, Philippines – Given another chance to fight again, Milan Melindo wants to prove he isn’t done yet.
Melindo, the former International Boxing Federation 108-pound king, will battle Omayao, whose resume includes a fourth-round knockout loss to Naoya Inoue at 122 pounds in the event promoted by ZC Kings Promotion and Zamboanga Valientes. With his record of 37-5 with 13 knockouts, Melindo is favored over the 29-year-Omayao, who holds a 24-23-5 record after dropping his last four bouts, in the eight-rounder.
Marcial, the former World Boxing Organization Oriental champion with a 24-4-1 record, is also the slight pick over Mancito in another eight-rounder.
