Manny Siaca (25-7, 20 KO's), a former 168-pound champion of the WBA, is ready to fight on the 6th of November in Australia against Rohan Murdock (15-1, 12 KO's) in a fight that he says will put him back on the map about to get another title shot at the WBO and WBA world crowns.

"It's official. The contract was signed. This fight is for the Asian Pacific 168-pound title of the WBO. To beat him, as I hope I will, will rank me well and put me on the map again. Then I'll talk to Paquito (Valcarcel)  to see if he can help achieve this global fight. The WBA are also going to qualify me," he said.

Siaca not fought since a win in April 2013, but says inactivity not affect him much.
