JOURNEYMAN Marjohn Yap looks to derail the quick ascent of unbeaten prospect Angelo Leo in a 10-round super bantamweight fight on June 29, 2019 in Las Vegas.
The 30-year-old Yap will be making his US debut and will also be fighting at a new weight--the super bantamweight division.
“I want to introduce myself here. I want the US audience to see me. This fight is very important because I want to be known what kind of fighter I am. I will go for the win and give my best,” said Yap, who’s ranked No. 9 in the World Boxing Council (WBC) as a bantamweight.
Yap saw his impressive 10-fight streak in Japan end last year after a unanimous decision loss to Takuma Inoue. (EKA)
