Parrenas, 31, was a member of the Philippine national amateur team, competing abroad many times and earning bronze at the 2005 Southeast Asian Games. Parrenas has won 7 straight fights – his longest winning streak of his career, while Carmona has won 3 straight since being stopped in 7 rounds by then-WBO junior bantamweight titleholder Omar Narvaez.
The winner of the 12-round fight, which is presented by Zanfer Promotions, will face the champion Naoya Inoue for the title. The Japanese boxer won the title in December with a knockout of Narvaez but injured his hand in the process. – Rappler.com
