Sultan battles veteran Jaro tonight

AN all-Filipino showdown takes place tonight as Jonas “Zorro” Sultan stakes his IBF Inter-continental super flyweight title against former world champion Sonny Boy Jaro at the Angono Sports Complex in Angono, Rizal.

The two fighters were on the dot in yesterday’s weigh-in as they both tipped the scales at 115 pounds.

The fight was originally scheduled last April 10 but was postponed after Jaro fell ill due to urinary tract infection (UTI).

Sultan, 25, a native of Tampilisan, Zamboanga del Norte, holds a record of 12 wins, eight by knockouts, and three defeats.

The veteran Jaro has 43 wins, 30 by knockouts, 13 defeats and five draws.
