DAVAO CITY -- Neil John Tabanao and John Vincent Moralde will face two undefeated opponents from the United States in non-title fights at the Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 5.
Tabanao, nicknamed “Beast”, will meet Angelo Leo while Moralde will trade punches with Xavier Martinez.
Tabanao won his last four fights, boosting his ring record to 17-4 with 11 knockouts.
The 25-year-old native of Mandaue City holds the World Boxing Foundation Asia Pacific super bantamweight belt he won via knockout against Thai Yotchanchai Yakaeo in Australia on March 17, 2018.
