FORTUNES OF WAR - MEET OUR FIGHTERS

Mark John Yap v Phan Minh Quân  -   Fight 4

PHAN MINH QUAN  Debut

23 yrs old / Orthodox / The Riddler / 170cm / 59kg Super Featherweight

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam / Matrix Boxing HCMC

The Riddler is the most accomplished of three aspiring Vietnam boxers in the exhibition bouts.

That said, he faces the most daunting opponent – 3 times OPBF champion Mark John Yap,

Quan was a youth champion in HCMC, and has continued his boxing training with the hope of becoming a professional competitor later on. He has won at Inter Club level, and he definitely possesses the look of a boxer that can make it to the pros. He is also a good size for a super featherweight, and he still retains some nice amateur touches in his arsenal.

Phan Minh Quan has a real reputation of asking the hard questions of his opponents, and some, well they just seem near impossible to answer.

Hence – The Riddler !

MARK JOHN YAP  31 wins

33 yrs old / Orthodox / The Journey Man / 168cm / 59kg Super Featherweight

Cagayan de Oro, Philippines / VSP Elorde Manila

Mark John Yap is one of the Philippines premier boxers, and arguably one of their best internationally performed in recent times. In the five years prior to the pandemic, Yap literally tore some of Japan’s best fighters to shreds, and picked up three OPBF titles in the process. He has recorded 31 wins as a professional. Amazing considering the caliber of opposition that he has confronted during his incredible career.

This is a vastly experienced boxing star who most recently overcame Papua New Guinea champion Junior Raka in dominating fashion, and will be using this exhibition bout the keep his weapons sharp for a likely bout in Manila in January.

Don’t be surprised to see the Journey Man back in Vietnam in 2023 for a big fight.

Of course, he has to get past Phan Minh Quan first!
