ORTHODOX Jason “The Pain” Facularin of Davao City will fight James “Dynamite” Pagaling of Misamis Oriental on April 21 at the Manolo Fortich Municipal Gymnasium in Manolo Fortich.

Their weight limit in the fight is 118 kilograms.
Facularin's sparring mates are Angelo Beltran and Richard Lofranco.
Facularin [7-1-0, 7KOs] had five fights last year and he lost only once against Kenneth Egano of General Santos City last May 6, 2023 in Imus, Cavite.
