DAVAO CITY -- Former World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim bantamweight champion Raymart "Assassin" Gaballo of General Santos City will face “dangerous” Yeison Vargas of Cartagena, Colombia on August 31 at the Minneapolis Armory, Minneapolis, Minnesota in the United States.
It will be Gaballo's debut fight under PBC, to be showcased as undercard of the fight of Erislandy "The American Dream" Lara of US versus Ramon "Inocente" Alvarez of Mexico on August 31.
Gaballo is still undefeated with 21 wins and 18 knockouts while Vargas has 17 victories with 12 knockouts and one loss.
"I want to show the world what I got. I want to return the trust and support of my team by winning in the most impressive fashion," Gaballo said.
He said he is more excited to fight under a bigger spotlight.
"My opponent is a dangerous pick but that makes it even more exciting. I have worked so hard in my camp and I want to harvest the fruits of my labor by bringing home the win”, Gaballo said.
Gaballo has been trained in the US with Cuban head coach Moro Fernandez.
His manager Sanman CEO Jim Claude Manangquil promised that a stylish win by Gaballo will bring him a bigger fight and probably a world championship belt.
“We are doing our best to arrange a title fight for Gaballo much more if he beats Vargas with an exclamation point. We are all excited. He worked so hard for this and we wish him the best," Manangquil said. (PNA)
