Flyweight prospect Carlo Caesar Peñalosa will have his first shot at a title when he takes on fellow Filipino pug Salatiel Amit for the WBC ABC Silver flyweight title on November 10 at Puerto Princesa Coliseum in Puerto Princesa , Palawan.

Peñalosa, 24, is the nephew of retired two-division champions Gerry Peñalosa and Dodie Boy Peñalosa. He holds a record of 9-1 with 3 knockouts and has last seen action in August.

“This is a test for Carlo is he is ready for international competition,” Gerry Peñalosa told GMA News Online.

Amit, on the other hand, will enter the ring for the third time this year. He holds a record of 10-3-2 with 7 knockouts and has fought quality local foes in Jonathan Taconing and Froilan Saludar.
