On October 23, the Boxing event in Ansan, South Korea will witness the WBO Oritental belt battle of Minimumweight between Sam Minh Phat and Arar Andales. This is also Minh Phat's first championship struggle after a long time playing on a professional floor.
Minh Phat has been pursuing martial arts very early. He tried practicing many martial arts such as traditional martial arts or taekwondo, but in the end he chose boxing as his career.
In 2016, Minh Phat achieved the first great success with the Lets Vietnam Championship. Since then, he has always been a stature puncher in the water in the weight of 49kg weight.
Minh Phat first tried in the professional arena in 2017, unfortunately everything was not very favorable when he received 2 consecutive losses in the Philippines. Until 2019 the career of this fist really flourished with 7 victories out of 8 matches.
The opponent Minh Phat on October 23 was Arar Andales, an experienced puncher with 12 wins 2 losses, ranked 21st place worldwide. Andales has held two championship belts in WBA Asia and WBF World Minimum-Weight.
This will definitely be a difficult match for Minh Phat. Because Andales has an overwhelming attack, and is too familiar with the championship struggle.
In addition, Andales has quite uncomfortable tactics – this Filipino puncher often has internal entry situations and then attacking at close range. Minh Phat needs calm and confident to win this match.
