World Slasher Cup kicks off Jan. 28 at Big Dome

The most-awaited international cockfight competition, the World Slasher Cup, returns to the historic Smart Araneta Coliseum on Jan 28, 2019.

The major international event will have its Grand Finals on Feb. 6, 2019.

Participants are encouraged to register their entries early while they prepare their fowl fighters to face their toughest competitors in this gruelling nine-cock invitational derby.

They may do so by calling the WSC Derby Office at 588-8227 or 911-2928; or via the registration page on the website www.worldslashercup.ph.

The first three days of 2-cock eliminations are from Jan. 28-30 then the 3-cock semis begin on Jan. 31 to Feb. 2; and the 4-cock Pre-Finals will be on Feb. 3-4, with the 4-cock Grand Finals on Feb. 6.

The number of entries will determine if there will be a one-day break before the Grand Finals.

Known to its numerous followers as the Olympics of Sabong, the World Slasher Cup is a smackdown of only the best breeds and bloodlines of winged warriors meticulously cared for in fowl farms here and abroad.

The upcoming derby is also a chance for hundreds of hopefuls to outlast and outshine last year’s WSC 2 solo champ, Greengold Uno, owned by sabong enthusiast and newspaper executive Rey Briones and his farm manager Rod Advincula.
