When talking about the fabled Vietnamese Tiger fighting spirit, they surely must have based the narrative around Thai Hoang Huy ! His ring name is Nak Su, which naturally enough, means WARRIOR. .
Things about to get serious in Vũng Tàu tonight when boxers from 10 countries descend upon the shores of The Grand Ho Tram.
Vietnam will be represented Thai Hoang Huy and the legendary Tran Van Thao at the big show which will feature the WBO Global Title fight as it's main event.
Tran Van Thao and Thai Hoang Huy will fly the Vietnam flag at this Saturday night's big international show at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino.
The "Trigger" Thao resumes from more than a year out of the ring, and takes on gritty Mexican Kenbun Torres (12-4)
Thai Hoang Huy only debuted in early 2023, and has already amassed 4 wins, but has a big task against a hot opponent from Botswana. He meets Moabi "the Eagle" Ngaka - a two time junior gold medal winner at amateur before turning pro, and now a WBF title holder in Africa.
The international event is headlined by a WBO title match, and will be supervised by Vietnam Boxing Organization.
The action takes place in Vũng Tàu from 6pm this Saturday November 18th.

Thai Hoang Huy had never even sparred, let alone compete in a boxing ring !
Tomorrow night, the VSP PRO regular heads to The Grand Ho Tram in Vũng Tàu to face Botswana star Moabi Ngaka.
This is a Vietnam lion that loves a challenge.
This is what boxing is all about.
Best of luck to all boxers that will compete in Saturday's all international card - fight like demons and get out of the ring safe.
VSP PRO regular Thai Hoang Huy is rewarded for his improving performances with an INTERNATIONAL bout in Vung Tàu !
Huy takes on the Botswana sharp shooting Moabi "the Eagle" Ngaka.
The Botswana man has had more than 60 amateur fights, and has already scored significant professional wins in Africa.
This is far and away the toughest assignment for Thai Hoang Huy since he transitioned from muay thai late last year. VSP wish him lots of luck.

This time last year Muay Thai fighter Thai Hoang Huy was looking to make his boxing debut.
And what a debut !
The fighter dubbed "Naksu" (which means WARRIOR in Muay Thai) fought an exhibition with Philippines famed KILLER JonJon Estrada - a boxer with 16 wins and ouch ! - 14 Knockouts.
That exhibition bout inspired Thai Hoang Huy to turn professional - and the Ho Chi Minh City boxer now owns the impressive record of 4 wins and one split decision loss in his five bouts to date.
Certainly not one to walk away from a challenge, Naksu now has some huge news breaking !
Thai Hoang Huy will represent Vietnam at an international event at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino on November 18th on a top class card assembled by Cocky Buffalo Promotions.
Huy will take on Botswana hotshot Moabi Ngaka, in what will be a prelude for the African boxer's title fight in late December.
Ngaka was a superb amateur that has transitioned impressively to the pro format, and is now regarded as his country’s best fighter.
And Ngaka will take his own place in history, as this will be the first time we get to see an African boxer perform in Vietnam.
Thai Hoang Huy has been one of the consistent improvers at VSP PRO this year, and we wish him lots of luck in this monumental yet exciting challenge that lay ahead.
Improving novice Thai Hoàng Huy went on the attack in round two, after trailing 10-8 in the early scorecards.
Huy was unfortunate in round one, after appearing to slip just prior to receiving a glancing blow, and was deducted two points for the knockdown.
But the former muay thai fighter quickly made up for it, landing a peach of an uppercut on Tran Ngọc Phuong Hieu to end the battle in stunning fashion.
Despite his inexperience as a boxer, Thai Hoang Huy has improved markedly since he debuted, and moves to 4-1 as a professional.
Join us at VSP Gym in HCMC to catch all the future stars in action on Saturday night September 30th.
Young guns unveiled ! Read on :
Thai Hoang Huy has proved one of the most popular prospects on the circuit this year, and will be aiming for his 4th win as a professional at this month's show.
Huy will take on Omega Boxing’s talltimber Tran Ngọc Phuong Hieu, who is on debut but extremely confident of a first up victory at the iconic VSP Gym.
Thái Hoàng Huy thắng điểm tuyệt đối trước Phạm Minh Thắng tại sự kiện Boxing chuyên nghiệp VSP Pro 6!
Hiệp 1: Tốc độ nhập cuộc rất nhanh và chỉ sau hơn 10 giây Thái Hoàng Huy đã có cú móc phải rất nặng trúng mặt khiến Phạm Minh Thắng loạng choạng. Sau gần 2 phút, Hoàng Huy tiếp tục có tình huống ép Minh Thắng vào ring và tung ra combo đòn khiến đối thủ suýt ngã xuống sàn.
Với lối đánh có phần "hoang dã", thiếu kinh nghiệm, Minh Thắng còn dính một đòn móc trái rất nặng. Thậm chí cuối hiệp 1 Minh Thắng trong một tình huống hớ hênh còn lĩnh trọn cú upper-cưt trúng vùng cằm. Suýt chút nữa đã có tình huống thắng knock-out cho Hoàng Huy.
Hiệp 2: Minh Thắng có pha ra đòn trúng đích đáng kể ở giữa hiệp nhưng tổng thể anh vẫn không tạo ra sự thay đổi nào đáng kể nhằm thu hẹp chênh lệch về thế trận. Hoàng Huy vẫn cho thấy tốc độ, kinh nghiệm và kỹ thuật ra đòn toàn diện hơn.
Hiệp 3: Thể lực của Minh Thắng bắt đầu suy giảm và Hoàng Huy đã dồn ép đối thủ vào ring liên tục tung ra những đòn hook và body-shot.
Có thể thấy nỗ lực tìm cách dứt điểm trận đấu bằng những cú upper-cut của Hoàng Huy và rất may mắn Minh Thắng mới trụ vững.
Hiệp 4: Hoàng Huy bất ngờ giảm tốc bằng những đòn jab cơ bản nhằm hạn chế sự hưng phấn và nỗ lực vùng lên của Minh Thắng. Và dù là đòn jab cơ bản thì Hoàng Huy vẫn ghi điểm khá tốt.Và trước khi kết thúc trận đấu Hoàng Huy vẫn kịp ghim đòn tay rất nặng trúng mặt đối thủ.
Kết quả: 40-36, 40-36, 40-36. Thái Hoàng Huy thắng điểm tuyệt đối, qua đó đánh dấu trận thắng thứ 3 sau 4 lần thượng đài ở chuỗi sự kiện VSP Pro.

HCMC boxer Thai Hoang Huy returns for VSP PRO next Saturday May 27th, and is promising to show improvements to his game, but still deliver plenty of thrills along the way.
The 57kg former muay thai fighter will jump to 63.5kg for his upcoming bout, but is happy to do so in order to gain more ring time.
"Nak Su" (Warrior) won by stoppage on debut, before a narrow split decision loss in March, and is under no illusions about his task in boxing.
"I love it, but I know I have a lot to learn.
It is very exciting for me to compete, and I have many idols that I study. I hope I can be be near their level some day.
I know I have a lot of power, and when I learn more, I want to give the fans lots of KNOCKOUTS like idol JonJon Estrada from the Philippines. "
Estrada, pictured here with Huy, is known as The Wolverine in his homeland.
He has the incredible professional record of 16 wins - with 14 of those wins coming by thunderous knockout !!

Thái Hoàng Huy gây ấn tượng ở VSP Pro 2 với chiến thắng TKO, nhưng đối thủ tối nay của anh là võ sỹ kỳ cựu 34 tuổi từng tập nhiều môn võ và đã thi đấu ở giải võ thuật tổng hợp Lion Championship 2022, Vũ Văn Hải. Lối di chuyển khá ngẫu hứng và combo trả đòn bằng những cú đấm móc và đấm vòng của Văn Hải khiến Hoàng Huy rất khó tiếp cận và thậm chí còn dính đòn.
Hiệp 2 mọi thứ trở nên tốt hơn cho Hoàng Huy khi anh có 1 cú phản đòn tay sau và 1 cú đấm vòng chuẩn xác. Dù có phần ức chế vì lối di chuyển và động tác khiêu khích từ Văn Hải nhưng rõ ràng Hoàng Huy đạt hiệu quả ra đòn tốt hơn ở hiệp đấu này.
Tình huống đáng chú ý ở hiệp 3 đó là Văn Hải chủ động khiêu khích, nhưng anh lại hớ hênh hạ cả hai tay thõng xuống và nhanh chóng dính combo đòn của Hoàng Huy. Ở hiệp đấu này Văn Hải tiếp tục bị trọng tài nhắc nhở thái độ thi đấu cũng như ra đòn phạm quy khi dùng mu bàn tay. Cả hai đều có thêm những cú đấm móc thành công, nhưng không ai tỏ ra vượt trội ở hiệp này.
Ở hiệp đấu cuối cùng Hoàng Huy ghi thêm điểm với 1 tình huống jab hiệu quả, nhưng võ sỹ trẻ này cũng tỏ rõ sự ức chế và quá khích trước lối đánh của đối thủ. Thêm một hiệp đấu không có đột biến và kết quả cũng mang đến sự bất ngờ đôi chút khi Văn Hải thắng điểm không đồng thuận (2-1). Đây là chiến thắng đầu tiên của Vũ Văn Hải trên sàn boxing pro.
When talking about the fabled Vietnamese Tiger fighting spirit, they surely must have based the narrative around Thai Hoang Huy !
This former HCMC Muay Thai champion fell in love with boxing only in recent times, and made his debut in an exhibition bout against an absolute killer named JonJon Estrada - a man who has created absolute carnage in just about every fight he contests.
Estrada had previously scored 15 wins as a professional and owns THE BEST knockout stats in the featherweight division - 14 of his victims have been put to sleep !
And Thai Hoang Huy had NEVER even competed in a boxing match !
Huy did a great job, and after surviving a round one knockdown, traded leather with Estrada until the referee stopped the match in round 3.
It was great learning for the fighter with the ring name of Nak Su, which naturally enough, means WARRIOR.
Saturday February 25, Nak Su is back, and will make his professional debut at VSP PRO.
Huy will contest a 4 round bout in the featherweight class of 57kg.
It is certainly been a crazy ride for the former muay thai fighter who hadn't tried boxing untll 3 months ago !

MEET OUR FORTUNES OF WAR FIGHTERS !
FIGHT 1 Thai Hoang Huy v JonJon Estrada
THAI HOANG HUY Debut
26 yrs old / Orthodox / Nak Su / 170cm / 57kg Featherweight
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam / Maxkado Gym HCMC
When talking about the fabled Vietnamese Tiger fighting spirit, they surely must have based the narrative around Thai Hoang Huy !
This former HCMC Muay Thai champion fell in love with boxing only in recent times, and will make his debut against an absolute killer named JonJon Estrada - a man who has created absolute carnage in just about every fight he contests.
Estrada has scored 15 wins as a professional and owns THE BEST knockout stats in the featherweight division - 14 of his victims have been put to sleep !
And Thai Hoang Huy has NEVER even competed in a boxing match !
His ring name is Nak Su, which naturally enough,means WARRIOR. .
So what are the upsides for this apparently “out of his depth” upstart Nak Su ?
Huy is big and strong, and has a hardened body and resolve from his years of Muay Thai. He is also very agile and athletic, and he likely holds a speed advantage over the Philippines’ Estrada.
Thai Hoang Huy is very aware of his assignment.against Estrada, and has studied the aggressive crouching style of his opponent, and the angles at which he leverages his biggest and most hurtful punches. He is confident that he has the game plan to subdue the destructive Wolverine., and he is looking forward to the challenge.
Huy is clearly the least experienced of these Vietnam debutants, and he has the most dangerous task, but if he can avoid knockout, then he certainly has the athletic prowess to have good moments in this match. It will clearly create huge interest to see how a Muay Thai champion fares with an absolute knockout artist in the boxing arena.
JONJON ESTRADA 15 wins
33 yrs old / Orthodox / Wolverine / 165cm / 57kg Featherweight
San Andres, Quezon, Philippines / VSP Elorde Gym Manila
JonJon Estrada is surely the Philippines’ most popular and iconic fighter!
The Wolverine JonJon Estrada is unleashed again this December, taking his superhero persona and hammer like fists to The Grand Ho Tram.
Estrada, known as "the Wolverine", has achieved cult status courtesy of his "don't die wondering" fighting style.
JonJon Estrada has perfected a low, stalking attack that has opponents constantly retreating, often to a violent demise. His record of 14 knockouts from his 15 wins paints a stark picture, as does his ominous bludgeoning of those that go toe to toe. The Wolverine had a blistering 2021, winning his last three bouts with stoppages that would get most men arrested ! And he carried that menace into 2022. And now it is Vietnam's turn !
Australian trainer Tony Del Vecchio sung the praises of JonJon Estrada recently :
" I love the pinoy style, they are always very physical, combative and exciting. They turn up to entertain, and to hurt. I have seen some big hitters in the Philippines, but I swear, this guy JonJon Estrada is the scariest puncher I have seen ! Man, the guy has a serious chin too, I saw him fight Suarez, and what can I say, I'm a big fan!"
The Wolverine is as complicated as he is simple. To defeat him, you need to avoid being knocked out. Sounds simple enough !
With Fortunes of War only weeks away we thought we'd check in with these Vietnam Tigers and see how they are looking in their preparations.
The answer: AMAZING !
These three young prospects are daring to dream big, and will be fighting professional stars from the Philippines on December 10.
They are all on steep learning paths, and it will be a significant task just to survive their battles in Ho Tram.

Here are the results of VSP PRO 5
Yes, it's rainy season, but Saturday nights in Saigon are now getting hotter.
HOW HOT ?
Well VSP PRO is back again - TONIGHT !!
Action starts at 6pm, live from VSP Gym.
Please arrive early !!!
Rocks or diamonds ! - that's how fights between two southpaws can go, but with some luck, FernandoTagpuno jr and Bryan Tamayo may just be one of the best bouts at "Night of Champions" tomorrow in Parañaque.
Tagpuno Jr has been on a hot winning streak, scoring 5 straight victories after enduring two narrow losses in debut matches.
But clearly "El Cazador" was a good learner, as his losses were to top prospects Jonniel Laurente and Daniel Nicolas, and he has been unbeaten since.
Bryan Tamayo enters the ring the more experienced of the two, having scored 8 quality wins, and he also boasts plenty of power.
The tall and rangy fighter has good skills too, and will surely test Tagpuno from the opening bell.
Top prospect Antonio Uy made weight for tomorrow's "Night of Champions" to be held at the Flash Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Centre Parañaque.
The "Crossman "will take on Jay-Ar Diama over 6 rounds in the Light Flyweight 112lb division, and if looks could kill, then we know what to expect tomorrow !

Papua New Guinea Boxer Junior Kauko Raka’s fight against Vietnamese opponent Van Thao Tran is scheduled for the 15th of July next month at the Grand Ho Tram resort and casino in Vietnam.
Raka said his preparations for the fight is going great at the moment, he is currently training with his coach Ephraim Montaru, trainer Nelson John and national coach for the amateur boxers.
“I am having some spurring with Team PNG boxers who are preparing to attend the Pacific Games in Solomon Islands.”
Raka said he will get really good preparations if he goes to the Philippines to train there whilst waiting for his fight.
“I have made commitments to go to the Philippines but in terms of sponsors I’m still yet to secure one to help me travel there to prepare.”
“If I train and do some spurring in the Philippines I will be at my best fit to take up my international match.”
Raka said he is confident to win this fight and that is his main aim as it is the national championships for Vietnam and to him it means it’s the national championship for PNG.
“I’ve watched some of my opponents fights and I’ve seen some of his weaknesses and studied his movements in terms of attack and defense so if I can prepare in the Philippines, I will be able to defeat him.”
“One of my opponent Van Thao Tran’s weakness I have seen is that he does not move a lot in the ring and he moves forward all the time so I am training on how to move back and counter punch on him when he moves forward to attack me; I will move back with my punches and see gaps to swing or stop him,” added Raka.
Raka said so far there is no confirmation from any sponsors yet who have said to help me however the member for Bougainville and Minister Peter Tsiamalili has made a commitment to assist him; also from the CEO for Sports Foundation Albert Veratau who said to look into it.
There is also a company Jomik group of companies in Bougainville who have put their hands up to assist in his travel.
Raka thanked these sponsors especially the Jomik group of companies who assisted his team when they were in Buka with their airfares back to Port Moresby and their continuous support.

Tran Van Thao is probably Vietnam's best known "professional" boxer, and despite the best efforts of the pandemic, has managed to stay active and motivated to further hus successful career.
"The Trigger" beat the Philippines Prince Andrew Laurio by knockout last October, and has since stayed fit sparring and competing with amateurs. Despite the less suitable 4 round format,Thao performed outstandingly at the National tournament earlier this year, getting silver in a closely fought contest with Hanoi boxer Tran Van An.
Thao makes his anticipated return to the pro ranks on July 15th, on an a huge international event to be held at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino. It is understood that Vietnam lightweight champion Nguyễn Văn Hải will also be appearing on this same show. Both boxers will be pitched against national champions.
Mark John Yap will be representing the Philippines, and after a recent exhibition bout in Ho Chi Minh City, should be in great shape for July 15th.
Fight card announcements soon.
Clarence Breboneria and Bryl Bayogos looked in ominous shape at today's weigh in, ahead of their meeting tomorrow at Mauway Gym.
Both boxers, at just 21 years of age, are highly promising. Bayogos is unbeaten in 4 outings, whilst Breboneria also has 4 wins, and could just as easily be unbeaten in 6 bouts. His losses were extremely close decisions, and it would also be accurate to state that the Elorde product has improved considerably since.
Breboneria has been in rampaging form since last October, devastating opponents with three knockout wins in a row.
In what looks a really open contest over 8 rounds tomorrow, if there is an advantage to be exploited, it may just lie with the power that Clarence Breboneria is capable of producing.
Vietnam - here we come !
The Yap Attack and Head Coach Jetro Pabustan are headed to Ho Tram Vietnam this July, as they look to reinforce the stocks of Mark John Yap on the world scene.
It is expected that the Philippines star will appear on an all international event, and will fight a young top rated fighter from the Middle East.
Familiar faces to VSP followers, Nguyễn Văn Hải and Junior Kauko Raka, will also compete on the Cocky Buffalo show.
Mark John Yap will return to Manila from CDO for sparring in 10 days time, on the back of an impressive exhibition performance in Ho Chi Minh City late last month.
More news breaking soon.
Watch this kid. Just turned 20 years of age, and with two professional wins already under his belt, Lê Tiến Đạt is one of the fastest improvers in Vietnam boxing.
He returns to the ring at VSP Gym next week, and if the young Flyweight gets his way, he will dish out another impressive victory against a quality opponent.
Boxer and master trainer Jetro Pabustan has his charges fit and ready to rumble, for what will be some great fight events, starting this Saturday at the Mauway Gym in Mandaluyong City.
Clarence Breboneria (pictured right) takes on the unbeaten Bryl Bayogos this Saturday, where the main event sees world top 30 Judy Flores pitched against the Predator Jerald Paclar.
But if you want to see "El Cazador" in action - that being the Ferocious Fernando Tagpuno Jr, you will need to wait another week !
Tagpuno appears on a great card scheduled for June 17th.
The "Hanoi Hitman" Nguyễn Văn Hải has been short listed for a big international card that is expected to light up The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino next month.
Hải improved his record to 5-1 with a boisterous win over the high ranked Chinese Xiao Tao Su, and in doing so, became Vietnam's #1 Lightweight performer.
The event at Ho Tram will include boxers from various countries, and is confirmed to include the Philippines Mark John Yap and Papua New Guinea's Junior Kauko Raka.The promoter Cocky Buffalo is also in talks with Vietnam's best performed professional "Trigger" Tran Van Thao about competing on this card.
The Grand Ho Tram international boxing event has been set down for July 15th.
Updates soon.
Rumours are strong that Papua New Guinea's premier fighter Junior Kauko Raka may be headed to the sunny shores of Vung Tau this coming July.
The "made from granite" Raka has made no secret that he wants to fight the top international boxers, but those opportunities aren't available at home in Papua New Guinea.
HAVE GLOVES - WILL TRAVEL !
Raka has already won two pro bouts, and taken two losses - but these were outstanding efforts against world rated Roldan Aldea and Mark John Yap.
It is believed that Raka is in talks to take on Vietnam's highest ranked professional fighter, and if so, this story is sure to create big news in that country.
"I love boxing - and I believe in myself and my team. I only want to take on the biggest challenges, and show people that the fighter's from Papua New Guinea can take on the world. We have many kids here with great potential, so my mission is to bring this message to Vietnam"

VSP PRO 5 in Ho Chi Minh City at VSP Gym on
Saturday June 17th.
The Saigon local is known as The Riddler, because of his ability to set traps and ask tricky questions of opponents.
Quân is a former Youth Champion and famously fought Philippines hard man Mark John Yap in an exhibition match in Ho Tram late last year.
Phan Minh Quân made his professional debut win last month in impressive fashion.
Watch The Riddler take on the Journey Man Mark John Yap at the Fortunes of War last December :
Great fight month ahead, and these two villains are ready to create havoc in coming weeks.
Clarence Breboneria takes on the unbeaten Bryl Bayogos on June 10, whilst Fernando Tagpuno Jr has the ominous task of the classy Bryan Tamayo on June 17th. Both of these shape as too close to call contests, but the Elorde boys are already showing killer confidence.
Don't forget VSP PRO will also be shown live from Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam again this month.
Saturday June 17th.

Boss Alejandro Belonguel watches two of his prize students in sparring today at VSP.
Doan Hieu and Mark John Yap were impressive winners on Saturday at VSP PRO, yet found the energy to get back in the ring today for some friendly rounds.
The Philippines visitor Yap heads home tomorrow night, but will return to Vietnam on July 15th for a big pro event in Ho Tram.
HCMC boxer HIỆP, better known as "BABY KONG " scored his debut win at VSP PRO 4 on Saturday night. It was his best performance so far, showing an improved work rate, and selecting a variety of shots on the inside that really impressed the crowd. Hiệp was especially successful with the uppercut, and he kept changing angle to keep his very strong opponent guessing.
Great fight, and looking forward to seeing more of Lê Hoàng Hiệp, and his rival Nguyễn Huỳnh Phúc Tiến, in future VSP PRO events.
Mindanao's Mark John Yap wound back the clock in Ho Chi Minh City tonight, with a brutal display over national team prospect Nguyễn Hà Minh.
Yap was returning from a couple of months break from the sport, celebrating the birth of his first daughter Yuri early this year. It was noted at the weigh-in for the Lightweight 61kg clash, that Yap looked a little soft next to his taller and ripped Vietnam opponent.
The Journey Man was given a warm reception by the crowd, who were divided as to how a pro veteran would match up with the slick Vietnam boxer in a highly paced 4 round format.
Nguyễn Hà Minh is only 20 years of age, but is a highly touted member of the Vietnam team,
He is tall, and boxes with beautiful range, has fast hands, and he seamlessly angles between stances to land counters with ridiculous ease.
The first two rounds were arguably won by the local star. The Philippines Yap pressed constantly, but his timing and distance were a little off, and Minh often punished his enterprise with counters.
Despite being outlanded, Yap was undeterred, and always looked significantly dangerous.
Cracks started to appear in the armour of the Vietnam star in the third, as Yap began to find his range, and the momentum shifted noticeably. The Journey Man was walking through Minh's efforts with impunity, and was really chopping his rival to the body. Yap was relentless, and went "old school" brutal in the final round, where he dropped his Vietnam opponent with sadistic attacks to the torso. Nguyễn Hà Minh stoicism saw him meet the final bell, yet had it been a longer bout, the stoppage was perilously near.
Mark John Yap was simply devastating tonight, and produced such a dominant performance on foreign soil, that he was hailed as the winner by unanimous decision.
It was a credible showing by hot national team member Nguyễn Hà Minh, and he acknowledged that Yap's strength and experience overwhelmed him in the home stretch. He will benefit a lot from his encounter with a hardened professional.
But the big news is - YAP IS BACK !
The evergreen killer from Cagayan de Oro will return to the ring in a big, soon to be announced fight, this coming July.
Pablito Canada and JonJon Estrada make great fights, and Saturday's was no different.
Minus the little kerfuffle near the end, where both boys were getting frustrated, and it was a really good contest with plenty of to and fro.
JonJon Estrada is known for his power, and although he showed more patience than usual in the longer duration 10 round bout, he still found time for some signature Wolverine moves.
Ladies and gentlemen - I give you, the very deadly lead left hook !
VSP PRO BOXERS ARE IN THE HOUSE !
Tomorrow night's fighters are starting to arrive for the weigh in for tomorrow's big fights.
Le Thị Ngọc Anh is one of the talented boxers that will be contesting the 57kg Featherweight women's match on the seven bout card.
Two great young prospects lock horns tomorrow in what is sure to be one of the fights of the night.
Le Hoàng Hiệp has been compared to a mini Mike Tyson, and has vowed to put on a dominant display at VSP PRO.
But things might not go so smoothly for the former Russian mob member, as his opponent Nguyễn Huỳnh Phúc Tiến looked in crazy shape at today's face off. This rangy HCMC boxer has been earmarked as one of the big impovers in the local ranks.
GREAT FIGHT !!
Get to VSP Gym tomorrow night and see these killers in person.
Starts at 6pm, but please arrive early.
