Mike SloanMay 24, 2017


There will be an intriguing boxing card down in Merida Yucatan, Mexico, this Saturday as FITE TV will stream the action live on Internet pay-per-view. Headlining the “Brave Warriors in Action” marquee will be Manuel Ceballos (12-1, 8 KOs) taking on Cesar Hernan Reynoso (14-8-4, 7 KOs) for a regional super middleweight title over 10 rounds.

However, multiple-time kickboxing world champion Tyrone Spong will be in action as well. The lethal striker will put his unblemished professional boxing record on the line as he takes on Juan Carlos Salas (6-11, 4 KOs) in a featured heavyweight attraction. Spong (8-0, 8 KOs) has looked right at home without using his feet as weapons and he hopes to continue to climb the ladder up the heavyweight ranks with another win.

Spong has captured kickboxing titles for It’s Showtime, WFCA, SLAMM, WKN and several others while compiling an excellent 74-7-1 record with 46 knockouts. The Dutch-Surinamese bomber has also tied his hand at mixed martial arts, where he currently rests at 2-0.

Also set for the bill is a 168-pound battle between Romar Alexis Angulo (21-0, 18 KOs) and Rolando Mansilla (13-3-1, 5 KOs) while Elias Espadas (14-3, 9 KOs) will take on Michelle Rosales (34-12, 27 KOs) at middleweight.

The four-fight telecast is available for $24.95 via www.fite.tv. The live stream is set to begin at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
