Boxing continues at a thrilling pace in Dubai, featuring world-ranked fighters in a hot WBA Asia tripleheader set for Saturday, August 26, at the luxurious Le Meridian Hotel & Convention Centre in the City of Gold, Dubai, U.A.E.

In the show's main event, Dubai-based IBF world-ranked African Lion Rolly Lambert Fogoum (16-1-1, 12 KO's), from Bafoussam, Cameroon, battles big and strong former world-title challenger Zhang Zhaoxin (10-2-1, 6 KO's) of Chengdu in spicy Sichuan, China, for the vacant WBA ASIA Cruiserweight (90.71 kilos) Title, as well as a place in the world-rankings. 

The war is the golden opportunity for the well-trained Middle Kingdom warrior Zhang to bounce back into the green winning column after his failed world title attempts against then champion Ryad Merhy (31-2, 26 KO's), one year ago in Brussels.

But the mission against Lambert will not be easy.      

Lambert has been scoring win after win, reaching a 14-fight winning streak, while claiming important WBO, WBA, WBC and IBF African, Asian and International straps, while getting ranked as world's # 12 by the IBF.

Five action bouts are set to support Lambert vs Zhang.   One of them it's the exciting clash of unbeaten young, promising fighters, 23-year-old Wang LeQuang (8-0, 5 KO's) of China, challenging tough 19-year-old world-ranked WBA ASIA Super Lightweight Champion Phoobadin Yoohanngoh (18-0, 10 KO's) of Thailand, the Thai warrior, a young man with total power in his blows.

In another WBA Asia title fight, Thailand's world-ranked WBA # 15 Tewa Kiram (49-1, 34 KO's), defends his WBA ASIA Super Welterweight (69.85 kilos) strap, against the fists of battle-tested Kazakh warrior Baishanbo  (17-5-1, 7 KO's) from China's northwestern Xinjiang region.
