Jacobus (15-3, 11 KOs) won the UBO world title in
2009 against Thailand’s Plaisakda Singwancha
(KO2), and has since made defenses against another
Thai, Komgrit Nanakorn (W12), and Brazilian Rocky
Junior (KO11).
Mora (55-17-1, 35 KOs), from Cordoba, Argentina,
has fought some big names in his fifteen years
long career, including the best middleweight in
the world today, Sergio Martinez, who won a
decision over Mora, former UBO Inter-Continental
Champion Evans Ashira, former IBF World Champion
Kassim Ouma, and former WBC World Champion Robin
Reid.
A former two-time Argentinean champion, and former
South American, WBA Inter-Continental and
Fedelatin, and three time WBO Latino champion, “El
Chino” challenged Raymond Joval for the IBO World
Middleweight title in 2003 but lost on points.
Eight years later he will now get his second shot
at a world championship. |

considered Vanuatu’s biggest sports hero.
