The undefeated Filipino, Pagara (25-0, 18 KO’s) will defend his WBO Inter-Continental super bantamweight title against Talavera at the Cebu City Waterfront Hotel & Casino, Barangay Lahug, Cebu City, Cebu on Saturday night 27th Feb. His title defense will be Pinoy Pride 35 "Stars of the Future" main event, as the successful boxing series returned to Cebu after a successful US debut in October last year. Pagara won the title during that event.

Talavera arrived clad in an all-white tracksuit that looked ripped and ready to rumble.
