Also fighting in separate bouts is the duo of local favorites – the undefeated super welterweight prospect dubbed “The Macao Kid”, Ng Kuok Kun (6-0, 2 KOs), and Hong Kong’s undefeated Top-Five super flyweight contender Rex “The Wonder Kid” Tso (15-0, 9 KOs), fighting for the vacant WBA international super flyweight title.
