Young Boxers Aranas and Noynay Set for WBF Silver Flyweight Title Clash in Cebu
In an exciting development for boxing enthusiasts, young fighters Jemuel Aranas and Jeric Noynay are scheduled to face off for the World Boxing Foundation (WBF) Silver flyweight title on May 9, 2026. The highly anticipated bout will take place at the iconic Cebu Coliseum, promising a night of intense action and high stakes.
Fight Details and Event Background
This championship match is a key highlight of the "Fist of Fury 10" boxing card, organized by Chao Sy Promotions. The event continues to build momentum with an impressive lineup of matches designed to captivate fans and showcase emerging talent in the sport. The main event pits two determined boxers against each other, each with their own motivations and recent histories.
Jemuel Aranas: A Mixed Year and Title Aspirations
Jemuel Aranas, a 21-year-old boxer hailing from Carcar City, experienced a rollercoaster year in 2025. He competed in five fights, securing two wins, suffering two losses, and ending one bout in a draw. His victories came against seasoned opponents Renoel Pael and Anthony Gilbuela, demonstrating his potential against veteran fighters.
However, Aranas faced setbacks with two losses to Nathaniel Dorona, highlighting areas for improvement. One of his notable fights resulted in a draw against Japanese boxer Kiyoto Narukami, who is based in Cebu. Originally, a rematch with Narukami was in the works, but plans changed as the Japanese fighter has already scheduled a bout in Japan, paving the way for this title opportunity.
Aranas enters the ring with a professional record of 8 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw, including 4 knockouts. His mixed results have fueled his drive to claim the WBF Silver title and establish himself as a rising star in the flyweight division.
Jeric Noynay: Seeking Redemption After Losses
On the other side, Jeric Noynay is determined to bounce back from consecutive defeats. He recently lost a split decision to John Ver Espra and then suffered a fifth-round knockout loss to Arlando Senoc in a World Boxing Organization (WBO) Asia-Pacific Youth flyweight fight. These setbacks have motivated Noynay to train harder and aim for a comeback victory.
Noynay holds a professional record of 5 wins and 2 losses, with 1 knockout. His resilience and hunger for redemption make him a formidable opponent, setting the stage for a compelling showdown with Aranas.
Undercard Bouts Adding to the Excitement
The "Fist of Fury 10" event features a strong undercard that enhances the overall fight night experience. One of the key supporting bouts is an International Boxing Federation (IBF) minimumweight title eliminator between unbeaten Ian Abne and China's hard-hitting Dianxing Zhu.
- Ian Abne boasts an impressive record of 12 wins, 0 losses, and 2 draws, with 4 knockouts, making him a top contender in the division.
- Dianxing Zhu brings a record of 16 wins and 1 loss, with 14 knockouts, showcasing his power and experience in the ring.
Additionally, another supporting bout will see John Paul Gabunilas take on Ramil Roda, expected to deliver another action-packed contest. These matchups ensure that fans in Cebu will witness a full evening of competitive boxing, from the preliminary fights to the main event title clash.
Conclusion: A Night of High Stakes in Cebu
As the fight date approaches, anticipation builds for what promises to be a memorable night at the Cebu Coliseum.
