Marlon Tapales challenges for the WBA and IBF super bantamweight belts against Uzbek champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev.
Tapales is determined to snatch the World Boxing Association and the International Boxing Federation super bantamweight crowns from Uzbek Murodjon Akhmadaliev when they tangle on Saturday, April 8 , at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas.
The stats could be misleading, however, as Tapales stopped his last three opponents and nine of his last 10. They have a common foe – Ryosuke Iwasa – with the result also favoring Akhmadaliev, a 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics bronze medalist. The 31-year-old Tapales, who trained mostly in Las Vegas under Ernel Fontanilla and assistant coach Ting Arriosa, checked in at 121.8 pounds on Friday, a tad heavier than Akhmadaliev, who registered 121.6.
