VETERAN striker Renan “Flash” Noblefranca returns to action on Dec. 7, 2019, in a Muay Thai fight against former national Muay Thai Team member Ely Fernandez at the Kibawe Municipal Gym in Kibawe, Bukidnon.

Noblefranca last fought competitively in a kickboxing match in Vallejo, California in 2013. He stopped his opponent, American Kenny Epstien.

Now back in his hometown of Cebu City, Noblefranca hopes to revive his once promising career.

However, he’ll have his hands full against a younger and equally talented striker in Fernandez.

“It’s going to be a veteran against a rising star.

Flash’s opponent is a former national Muay Thai fighter. This will be a great exchange and display of skills,” Yaw-Yan Ardigma Cebu founder Benigno “Ekin” Caniga, Noblefranca’s trainer, told SunStar Cebu. (EKA)
