Two rising Filipino boxing stars are set to collide for the prestigious World Boxing Organization (WBO) Youth flyweight championship this December 21, 2025, at the City of Naga in Cebu. The unbeaten Arlando Senoc will face the determined Jeric Noynay in what promises to be an explosive regional title bout.
Training Camp Preparations
Arlando Senoc is currently deep in training camp at the Big Yellow Boxing Gym, working alongside his sparring partners and teammates. His training squad includes notable boxers Carlo Demecillo, Reycar Auxilio, Farms Valdez, and Dominic Ledres, all contributing to his preparation for the upcoming championship fight.
Senoc's trainer, Christopher "Ping-Ping" Tepora, emphasized the significance of this opportunity for his fighter's career. "We are focused on our training now. We will really prepare well for this fight," Tepora stated. He further revealed that this bout represents a crucial stepping stone for Senoc to enter the world rankings, potentially opening doors to bigger fights on the international stage.
Noynay's Redemption Quest
Across the ring, Jeric Noynay enters this championship bout with extra motivation following his recent setback. Noynay suffered a split decision loss to John Ver Espra in their Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) light flyweight title fight, and he's determined to bounce back stronger by capturing the WBO Youth belt.
The December 21 showdown represents more than just a regional title for both fighters. For Senoc, it's an opportunity to maintain his undefeated record while claiming his first significant championship. For Noynay, it's a chance at redemption and to reestablish himself as a rising contender in the competitive flyweight division.
What's at Stake
The WBO Youth flyweight championship serves as a crucial developmental title for boxers under 23 years old, providing a platform for young fighters to gain recognition and advance toward world title contention. Both Filipino boxers understand that victory could significantly accelerate their careers and potentially lead to international opportunities.
With the fight taking place in Cebu, a region known for producing world-class boxing talent, local fans are eagerly anticipating this matchup between two promising fighters at different stages of their careers but with equally compelling motivations for victory.
