In RP; World No. 3 Flyweight 


World Boxing Council (WBC) Silver Flyweight Champion Edrin "The Sting" Dapudong has been ranked by boxing database websiteboxrec.com No. 3 Pound-For-Pound Filipino boxer today, after boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire, Jr. in its latest rating of prizefighters all over the world.

Boxrec.com, a US-based database website which keeps the records of all professional boxers in the world, also ranked the 24-year-old Dapudong World No. 3 Flyweight, after Thailand's Pongsaklek Wonjongkam and Japan's Daiki Kameda.

Dapudong's meteoric rise in the world rankings is mainly because of his sensational first round knockout of former world No. 1 flyweight Jesus Jimenez last June 19 in Mexico which won for the farmer's son from M'lang, North Cotabato the WBC Flyweight Silver title.
