Second district Representative Erico Basilio Fabian, owner of the Blue Stallion Stable where Canoy belongs, said the fight is scheduled on November 30 at the Mandaue City Coliseum in Cebu.

The 10-rounder Canoy-Llanaza encounter will be the undercard of the lightweight showdown between Thai boxer Terdsark Jandaeng against a Filipino boxer.

Canoy earned his WBO Orient-Pacific belt when he defeated African boxer Rajabu Maoja last February 25.

Fabian said the November 30 bout will be Canoy's tune-up fight in preparation for a big bout in Thailand on January next year. (Bong Garcia)
