Rappler Fight Night: Ivan Soriano vs Jaysever Abcede, Mark Anthony Barriga vs Glenne Calacar

Rappler Fight Night returns with 3 bouts from Makati Cinema Square, with one interim title fight, one Olympian continuing his progression, and the return of a fan favorite from two years of inactivity.

In the main event, Ivan Soriano of General Santos City faces Jaysever Abcede of Bukidnon with the interim OPBF junior flyweight title at stake. The winner puts himself in position to challenge for the full title, currently held by Edward Heno, and will get a chance to move up the world rankings.

Also in action, 2012 Olympian Mark Anthony Barriga faces Glenne Calacar in a 10-round bout with his eyes firmly fixed on the world title picture in 2018. And in his first fight since 2015, AJ Banal jumps back into the ring with a 6-round fight against Jason Egera.
