VIVA – Indonesian boxer Ongen Saknosiwi has completed his task of winning the WBC Asia Boxing Council Continental featherweight title belt (57.1 kg) on March 4. He has now returned to his homeland and wants to show his devotion to his parents.
Ongen looked stunning when he beat Rattakorn Tassaworn in the duel. He managed to win by knockout in the fourth round.

After the quarantine process was over, Ongen had returned to his unit in the Indonesian Air Force. When confirmed, he said that this victory was for his sick mother.
