Kresler Tenorio will do battle with Jufel Salina in a late inclusion bout at the Ultimate Knockout Challenge next week in Manila. The family name Tenorio means womanizer, like that of Don Juan, but this Kresler “the Ladykiller” Tenorio does all his best work in the boxing ring! Kresler is a 21 year old from Batangas, and identical to his opponent Jufel Salina, has scored 3 wins as a professional. He is a rapidly improving orthodox, who followed up a spirited loss to the unbeaten Bryan James Wild, with two excellent wins in quick succession. This is a match up where both fighters are still learning their craft, but bring a level of skill to make them unpredictable and dangerous. While Salina has looked excellent against lesser opposition to date, Tenorio has battled some better foes, and looks to have improved sharply since a 2018 debut. Interesting and fun learning fight for both these boys. Beware the ladykiller!
Simply put, we think ULTIMATE KNOCKOUT CHALLENGE is going to be the biggest show of the year in the Philippines! 13 fights with some of the biggest names in the country coming together to show you what quality match ups looks like.

Bacolod's Genesis Servania will fight China's rising star Aketelieti Yelejian for the WBO Asia Lightweight title this November.
The highly-anticipated match up will take place on the undercard of the IBF world title fight between Pedro Taduran and Zhu DianXing at Jeju Island, South Korea.
Aketelieti Yelejian, who suffered a narrow loss to the Prince Albert Pagara in June, rebounded with an impressive IBF Asia victory against Korean Jin Su Kim in Vietnam recently. He is a very rangy and deceptive boxer known for his relaxed combinations, and he's supremely confident in his ability to take down Servania and claim the title.
"I've studied Servania's style, and I know I have the skills to outmaneuver him," Yelejian said yesterday.
"I'm excited to represent China on the international stage once more, and bring home an impressive win against a top and proven boxer like Genesis."
Servania, a seasoned veteran with a 35-4 record, boasts a reputation for toughness that has come from battles at the top level. And has still possesses some of the best body shots in the sport of boxing.
This important title shot gives the filipino the opportunity to re-establish himself on the world scene once more, and it's best remembered that his only defeats have came against world-ranked champions like Oscar Valdez and Andres Cortes.
But the China team have already confidently stated that Yelejian's youth, speed, height, and reach may all prove too much for the Filipino boxer.
Their optimism also exudes for the world title bout, where surprisingly, they are quite dismissive of Pedro Taduran's hopes of beating star Zhu DianXing. They actually rate their boxer so highly, they have predicted that the champion has no chance of retaining the belt.
These claims set up an intriguing backdrop for two massive Philippines v China feature bouts.
Fight Details :
- Date: Saturday, November 23rd
