This after the WBA gave Tapales the permission to pursue the winner of the world title clash between Naoya Inoue and Stephen Fulton, which can make him the first undisputed Filipino world champion, something that Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire Jr. haven’t achieved in their storied careers. This will be Tapales’ first title defense following his split decision victory against erstwhile WBA and IBF super bantamweight champion MurodjonAkhmadaliev still has a chance to regain the two world titles he lost to Tapales after earning a title eliminator against Tomoki Kameda, which will serve as the mandatory challenger of the future unified and undisputed four-belt world champion which Tapales looks to achieve.
The 31-year-old Tapales, who formerly trained and fought in Cebu under Rex Wakee Salud Boxing Gym, is the only remaining world champion of the Philippines.
