Chinese fighters Weiyi Jiang and Tuohatasen Sailibieke of Jianzhi Stable are both locked and loaded to invade Cebu for the seventh edition of the “Fist of Fury” boxing series promoted by sportsman Lorenzo “Chao” Sy on June 28 at the Cebu City Sports Institute Gym in Barangay Sawang Calero.

Jiang will slug it out with Dave “The Hunter” Peñalosa for the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Silver lightweight title.

Peñalosa sports an impressive 19-1 record with 12 knockouts, while Jiang has only fought thrice in the pro ranks but has a wealth of experience as an amateur.

Sailibieke, on the other hand, will tackle Vicente Unidos from Consolacion, Cebu in an exciting duel of undefeated bantamweight contenders.
