IBF super flyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas will be defending his title against Alejandro Santiago Barrios on the 29th of September in a place in Oakland .

The fight will be the sixth defence of his title, third this year and will be televised on ESPN+. He is a very active fighter, having most recently won a twelve round unanimous decision over his Filipino countryman, Jonas Sultan.

Ancajas (30-1-1, 20KOs) knocked down the previously undefeated McJoe Arroyo in the eighth round en route to a unanimous decision, to win the title back in 2016 and is being co-promoted by Top Rank and Manny Pacquiao’s MP Promotions, while Barrios (16-2-4, 7 KOs) is coming off two draws against undefeated Jose Martinez.
