30-year-old Southpaw Bellais, a Tahiti-born
Frenchman, will face Argentinean
danger-man Victor Jesus Rosales (19-1, 11 KOs)
in the main event of a self-promoted card in
Tahiti.
Having
won the title almost exactly a year earlier,
July 27 – 2018, with a third-round stoppage of
another Argentinean in Crispulo Javier Andino,
Bellais is deep in camp to make history by
defending his world title on home-soil.

“El
Chacal” Rosales turned professional in 2013, and
his only loss come in 2015 in a Middleweight
fight against 18-1 Adam Etches in England. He
has since won eight straight bouts.
The
challenger has vowed to restore his country's
honor, and revenge the defeat that Bellais
inflicted on Andino.
