    Fight night the 26th january of 2024 at Cebu Philippines.

    Main event big clash in light flyweight division :

    Christian Araneta "The Bomb" 28 years old 23 victories (18 KO) for 2 loses will be against a another filipino Arvin Magramo "Hurricane" 27 years old 17 victories (11 KO) with one lose and one draw.


    We will have the return of Benny Canete 23 years old "The Bull" in bantamweight division 9 victories (6KO) for one lose against a thai veteran Phissanu Chimsunthom "Wisanu Por Nobnum Kokietgym" from Nakhon Ratchasima 50 victories (17 KO) and 13 loses and 2 draws He took a career break between 2013 and 2022 before returning at the age of 39.

    The Japanese Keita Kurihara "Slugger" 30 years old , boxer from Tokyo with 17 victories (15KO) for 8 defeats and 1 draw, wishes to take his revenge on the Filipino Froilan Saludar who had beaten him the first time by Technical KO in the 1st round in Tokyo in October 2023.
    Froilan Saludar 34 years old "The Sniper" with 34 victories (24 KOs) for 7 defeats and a draw, he is one of the biggest punchers among bantamweights currently. For your information, he is the first to have knocked out Takuma Inoue the actual WBA Regular Champion in Bantamweight division in his career (the brother of the Monster Naoya Inoue ).


    Froilan Saludar actually the OPBF champion is ranked #8 by WBC (current champion Alexandro Santiago), and #16 by IBO (no champion actually).


    Keita Kurihara former OPBF champion is actually ranked #37 by IBO in Bantamweight division and top #8 in Japan in Bantamweight.


    The revenge of the japanese will happen in Cebu (Phillipines) in a main event the 26th january of 2024. The match is for the OPBF belt.

    Very interesting fight : Keita Kurihara destroyed Kai Chiba's career making him hang up his gloves, and Froilan Saludar achieved the feat of manhandling Takuma Inoue. Both are really strong physically and have a good power.

    I think if Keita loses again he will probably retire. Very interesting that his promoter is Masayuki Ito.

    The first fight Keita Kurihara vs Froilan Saludar (it was on Casimero vs Oguni undercard) :
