Filipino boxer Arthur Villanueva will get his third world title shot when he fights World Boxing Council (WBC) bantamweight champion Nordine Oubaali on July 6 at the Barys Arena in Astana, Kazakhstan.

“It’s going to be a 50-50 chance. I’m not pressured to score a KO though it’s part of our game plan. If I don’t beat him by KO that’s still okay,” The 30-year old Villanueva (32-3-1 win-loss-draw record with 18 knockouts) told The Manila Times in Filipino on Sunday.
