HANGAD ni Filipino Australian WBO light flyweight champion Louisa “Bang Bang Lulu” Hawton na mapasama sa undercard ng laban ng idolo niyang si eight-division world titlist Manny Pacquiao kontra WBO No. 2 contender Jeff Horn sa Abril 23 sa Australia.
Naninirahan ang 31-anyos na si Hawton sa Perth, Western Australia na ipinagmamalaki na kababayan ni Pacman sa General Santos City.
May rekord si Hawtorn na perpektong 7-0, kabilang ang tatlong knockout at natamo ang WBO light flyweight title sa panalo kontra Kei Takenaka ng Japan via 10-round unanimous decision sa Sanda, Hyogo, Japan.
“The Manny Pacquiao vs Jeff Horn is the biggest news for Australian boxing and will go down in history as this country’s biggest fight,” sabi ni Hawton sa Fightnews.com. “I’d love to be on that card fighting alongside Manny in my country of Australia and it would truly be a dream come true.”
“I am dubbed the female Pacquiao and I am Australian-Filipino defending the same WBO organization title,” dagdag ni Hawton. “Also I’m Australia’s only current WBO world champ. I need that break to be seen around the world. I hope Top Rank and Duco Events will give me that opportunity.” (Gilbert Espeña)
