DAVAO CITY \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Undefeated \u201cMagic\u201d Mike Plania (14W-0L, 7 KOs) will finally make his debut outside the Philippines on Dec. 22 in Cancun, Mexico.<\/p>\n

Plania of Sanman Promotions from General Santos City is facing Mexican Miguel \u201cDemoledor\u201d Tique (12W-10L-2D, 2 KOs) for 8 rounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy to be back again. I will do my best in my first fight abroad. I want to thank Sanman Promotions and the Heavyweight Factory,\u201d said Plania in his message on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Plania\u2019s manager Jim Claude \u201cJC\u201d Manangquil, CEO of Sanman Promotions said that his ward is now ready for his first fight abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be a good learning fight for him. Thank you Heavyweight factory and our advisor Ricardo Rizzo for the opportunity,\u201d Mananguil said.<\/p>\n

Plania has been training in Miami with Cuban Coach Osmiri Fernandez.<\/p>\n

The 20-year old Plania previously stopped veteran Jetly Purisima in Round 5 last February 26 at the Lagao Gym in Gensan.<\/p>\n

He is the only one left among the five US-based Sanman boxers, who have not yet made a debut outside the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Plania won the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) International bantamweight title via a majority decision against Lorence Rosas at the Makati Cinema Square Arena in 2016.<\/p>\n

Plania will only be making his second fight for this year against Tique.<\/p>\n

Tique of Ciudad Del Carmen, Campeche has won his last two fights all by unanimous decisions. He first beat Jose Hernandez then crushed Joel Ruiz.<\/p>\n

Tique fought but lost for the WBC Youth world super bantamweight title to compatriot Jose Salgado by a 4th round knockout in 2010.<\/p>\n

Tique also earlier bowed to Salgado in their championship fight for the WBC Youth world super flyweight crown via a 6th round TKO in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cTique is a tough Mexican and veteran fighter,\u201d Manangquil added.\u00a0(PNA)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
