WORLD Boxing Organization (WBO) Asia-Pacific Youth super featherweight king Joe Noynay keeps himself busy as he faces Nathan Bolcio, who has more losses than wins, in a non-title fight on Dec. 9 in Paranaque City.

Noynay, the pride of Bogo City, is a winner of both his matches this year. He made a return to his hometown of Bogo City on April 7 and defended his belt with a majority decision over tough Mexican Hector Garcia at the Celestino Martinez Sr. Sports and Cultural Complex.

The 23-year-old Noynay is currently ranked No. 12 in the WBO super featherweight ranking, wherein Masayuki Ito is the current titleholder. The 28-year-old Bolcio is on a three-fight losing slump and is 14-15-3 with four knockouts. (EKA)
