DAVAO CITY -- Southpaw Alie "Demolition Man" Laurel of General Santos City will fight Lloyd Jardeliza of Marikina City for the vacant Luzon Professional Boxing Association (LuzProBA) featherweight title on August 3 in Mandaluyong City.
The 27-year-old Laurel (15W-4L-1D, 10KO), who is now a resident of Sampaloc, Manila, TKO'd Visut Tamkhuntod of Thailand in the 3rd round last January 26 in his comeback fight.
