MANILA, Philippines, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — It appears Filipino boxing rising star Kenneth Llover has Michael Angeletti already figured out less than a month before stepping into the ring for their International Boxing Federation bantamweight title eliminator in Nagoya, Japan.

ArenaPlus ambassador Kenneth Llover is excited to hop back on the ring, this time against Michael Angeletti

ArenaPlus ambassador Llover (17-0, 12 KOs) believes overwhelming fellow unbeaten fighter Angeletti (14-0) with relentless pressure and volume punching will be the difference-maker in the bout, whose winner will earn the right to become the mandatory challenger for the IBF bantamweight title currently held by Mexican Jose Salas Reyes.

“I believe my punching power and my ability to apply constant pressure will be the deciding factors. I’m coming to dictate the pace and show what I’m made of,” said Llover, who has earned ‘The Next Manny Pacquiao’ tag from Japanese fans owing to his relentless fighting style.

The 24-year-old southpaw, who boasts of 12 knockouts, four of which came in the opening round, has already hit the ground running in Tagaytay City for the fight set on June 6 at the Aichi Sky Expo in Takoname.

Llover will leave for Japan on May 30 ahead of the June 5 weigh-in.

“I’m very confident because we’ve put in the hard work and preparation this opportunity demands. We are leaving everything in the gym so that come fight night, we can claim that victory. With God’s grace, we will come out victorious against Angeletti,” he said.

But against Angeletti, who possesses the ring IQ and decent power to rival that of his Filipino counterpart, Llover is treading on dangerous waters. After all, the 29-year-old American pugilist also has eight KO wins to show.

Still, with lead trainer Dindo Campo, renowned conditioning coach Alex Ariza, Carl Peñalosa Jr., as well as manager and two-division world champion Gerry Peñalosa in his corner, Llover could not help but feel excited for another opportunity to represent the country on the world stage.

“I wouldn’t call it pressure; it’s more excitement. I’m eager to get back in the ring and showcase my growth and skills to both the Filipino people and the international boxing community,” the 5-foot-6 Filipino said.

ArenaPlus, the number one PAGCOR-licensed online sportsbook in the Philippines, reaffirmed its support for Llover.

“At ArenaPlus, we stand firmly behind Kenneth Llover as he prepares for this crucial IBF title eliminator against Michael Angeletti. His discipline, passion, and drive embody the spirit of competition we believe in,” said Erick Su, Head of ArenaPlus.

Su is confident Llover will once again bring pride and honor to his country as he moves a step closer to his dream of competing in a world championship.

“As he takes on this defining moment in Nagoya, we’re committed not only to supporting his journey, but also to elevating the entire experience for fans who live for the thrill of world-class action,” said Su.

Fans can show support for Llover in the much-anticipated bout on arenaplus.ph.

KUCHING, Malaysia, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sarawak returns to IMEX Frankfurt 2026 for the fourth consecutive year, marking a new phase in its evolution as the Legacy Capital of Business Events in Malaysia and Borneo.

Building on years of international engagement, Sarawak is shifting beyond destination promotion towards strategic industry development and long-term impact through business events. This vision is supported by major investments in infrastructure and connectivity, including the upcoming expansion of the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK2) and the introduction of Sarawak’s regional airline, AirBorneo.

Expected to be completed in 2028, BCCK2 will significantly increase Sarawak’s capacity to host larger international conventions and exhibitions. At the same time, AirBorneo and the continued growth of international hotel brands will strengthen regional accessibility and further enhance Sarawak’s business events ecosystem.

Held under the theme “Driving Impact Together”, Sarawak’s participation at IMEX Frankfurt reflects its commitment to collaboration, sustainability, innovation, and legacy-driven development in alignment with the Post COVID-19 Development Strategy 2030 (PCDS 2030).

While Sarawak’s conventions and exhibitions strategy focuses on creating long-term legacies through knowledge exchange, industry advancement, and social impact, BESarawak is also introducing “Legacy Wonders”, its fresh approach to corporate meetings and corporate incentive travel in Sarawak.

Built on the pillars of culture, adventure, nature, gastronomy, wellness, and kindness, “Legacy Wonders” offers corporate meetings and corporate incentive delegates meaningful and immersive experiences that foster deeper connections with Sarawak’s heritage, environment, and communities. Through cultural immersion, community engagement, and responsible travel, delegates are encouraged to contribute to, and experience the positive legacies being created across the destination.

Datu Hii Chang Kee, Deputy State Secretary (Operation) and Chairman of Business Events Sarawak (BESarawak), said Sarawak’s presence at IMEX Frankfurt is no longer just about destination visibility.

“Our focus today is on encouraging the global industry to contribute to the PCDS 2030 through meaningful collaboration and long-term growth opportunities,” said Datu Hii.

“Sarawak has evolved beyond being a host destination to becoming a strategic destination partner that collaborates with organisers to maximise the long-term value and impact of their events. This includes supporting legacy and sustainability initiatives, measuring impact, and creating opportunities for investment, innovation, sector growth, and wider industry collaboration. Through this approach, business events can contribute meaningfully to the PCDS 2030 and the broader United Nations Sustainable Development Goals,” he added.

Sarawak is also strengthening its support ecosystem through initiatives such as the Academic Mobility Programme (AMP), which connects universities, industry players, and international partners through technical visits, study exchanges, and knowledge-sharing opportunities aligned with the state’s priority sectors.

“These initiatives reflect how Sarawak is strengthening its position as the legacy capital of business events through investments in both hard and soft infrastructure, while creating opportunities for different groups to contribute to community wellbeing and long-term development. Programmes such as AMP also provide platforms for academia and industry experts to channel their research, knowledge, and expertise into Sarawak’s priority sectors, driving meaningful collaboration and long-term impact across the destination,” said Jason Tan Chin Foo, Acting Chief Executive Officer of BESarawak.

Leading the Sarawak Pavilion at IMEX Frankfurt, BESarawak will be joined by exhibitors representing the state’s business events and tourism ecosystem: Borneo Adventure, Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, Cat City Holidays, Mercure Miri City Centre Hotel, Pullman Kuching Hotel, Pullman Miri Waterfront Hotel, and Wah Tung Travel. The pavilion will also feature local F&B partners, The Bibber’s Tale and the Culinary Heritage and Arts Society Sarawak (CHASS), showcasing Sarawak’s rich culinary heritage to the global business events community.

Held from 19 to 21 May 2026 at Messe Frankfurt, IMEX Frankfurt is one of the world’s leading business events trade shows, bringing together global meeting planners, association leaders, convention bureaus, and industry suppliers from around the world.

SHENZHEN, China, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — According to the latest data released by Omdia, Baseus ranks No. 2 brand globally in the clip-on Open Wearable Stereo (OWS) segment by shipments in Q1 2026— and stands as the No. 1 brand among all non-smartphone vendors in the category. With its own OWS shipments growing over 90% year-on-year, Baseus has firmly established itself as one of the leading players in the category.

“We didn’t just enter the OWS market — we made a deliberate, full-scale commitment to lead it,” said Shiyou He, founder of Baseus. “By combining high-quality sound with all-day comfort, we’ve built a comprehensive product portfolio that seamlessly spans from entry-level to premium, addressing diverse user needs.”

“Baseus achieved strong growth in the OWS category, driven by a refined product portfolio and a sharpened focus on clip-on OWS products. By targeting key price segments and aligning offerings with consumer demand, the company gained significant momentum. This innovative approach not only reinforced its leadership position but also underscored the intensifying competition in the smart personal audio market,” said Cynthia Chen, Research Manager at Omdia.

Baseus has built a comprehensive OWS product family spanning entry-level, mid-range, and flagship tiers — the Bass, Bowie, and Inspire series — ensuring every listener can find their entry point into the Baseus open-ear experience. With new products planned across multiple tiers in Q2 and Q3 2026, the portfolio expansion shows no signs of slowing.

Behind every product in the lineup sits the same founding conviction: “Exceptional Sound, All-Day Comfort.” Grounded in real user research, this dual mandate reflects a structural commitment and refuses to trade one for the other. On the comfort front, Baseus’s CloudComfort Technology undergoes continuous iteration—optimizing the ear cushion’s structure and contact area for the perfect balance of secure fit and evenly distributed pressure, while pushing silicone softness further with every generation—so that wearing your earbuds all day feels like wearing nothing at all. On the acoustic side, Baseus brings deep expertise in driver tuning and acoustic compensation algorithms and has elevated this further through a landmark collaboration with Sound by Bose on the Inspire series.

Beyond music, Baseus sees OWS at the center of a broader behavioral shift—one where users rely on their earbuds not just for music, but for focus, communication, and connection throughout the day. To meet this evolution, Baseus is actively advancing the convergence of AI and audio, bringing capabilities such as real-time multilingual translation, instant note-taking, and AI Chat across its product lineup, with continuous iteration to deliver an ever-smarter open-ear experience. As AI continues to evolve, Baseus is positioning itself at the forefront of the intelligent audio terminal era.

From shipment milestones to continuous product innovation, Baseus Audio is shaping the future of open-ear listening, setting new benchmarks for the category and unlocking what comes next.

Companies aim to extend healthy life expectancy, optimize management of healthcare institutions, and curb national healthcare costs

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc.
Fujitsu Limited
SoftBank Corp.

TOKYO, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu), Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (SMBC Group), and SoftBank Corp. (SoftBank) announced they entered into a basic agreement regarding a business alliance (the Alliance) in the health and medical fields with the objective of ensuring the continued sustainability of Japan’s healthcare system, which is based on universal health insurance. The agreement, concluded on May 18, will see the three companies build a Japan-developed healthcare platform aimed at achieving sustainable healthcare, contributing to the extension of healthy life expectancy of citizens, optimizing the management of healthcare institutions, and curbing national healthcare costs.

Under the Alliance, the companies will establish a data platform that enables the secure and appropriate management and utilization of medical data held within healthcare information systems, based on individual consent. In addition, by combining this medical data with personal health data that is controlled by individuals themselves—also linked and managed based on individual consent—they will develop app-based AI agents that act as personalized health partners tailored to each individual.

The data platform and related apps will be built within Japan-based data centers as Japan-developed healthcare infrastructure. Through this initiative, the companies aim to realize a secure and integrated framework that supports the entire patient journey—from daily health management to medical consultations, ongoing treatment, and post-treatment follow-up. Ultimately, this will enhance support for improving individual health outcomes, promoting behavioral change, and enabling more advanced assessments of disease risks.

Furthermore, through this Alliance, the companies will create new businesses that contribute to streamlining costs caused by duplicate testing and prescriptions, disease aggravation due to interrupted treatment, and the progression of preventable illnesses and frailty. By promoting the optimization of healthcare delivery, they aim to help curb future healthcare cost increases on the scale of approximately 5 trillion yen, thereby contributing to the achievement of sustainable healthcare.

• IPAX-2 study of TLX101-Tx (¹³¹I-iodofalan) has completed patient enrolment.
• Maximum dose reached with no dose-limiting toxicities observed.
• TLX101-Tx is also the subject of a pivotal trial, IPAX BrIGHT, which is actively dosing patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, “Telix”) today announces that the IPAX-2 study^[1] of TLX101-Tx (¹³¹I-iodofalan) in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma has completed patient enrolment. No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) have been observed to date, including with two doses of 5GBq (total administered activity of 10GBq), the maximum administered dose in the study.

IPAX-2 is an international, multicenter, open-label Phase 1 dose finding study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TLX101-Tx in combination with post-surgical standard-of-care treatment (external beam radiation therapy and temozolomide) in primary glioblastoma. Twelve patients were enrolled into three dose escalating cohorts across four sites in Australia, Austria and the Netherlands to assess the safety and tolerability, and to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for further development. Patients remain on standard-of-care treatment until study completion, after which the MTD primary endpoint will be confirmed.  

Dr. David N. Cade, Group Chief Medical Officer, Telix, commented, “We are pleased to have completed enrolment in IPAX-2, an important milestone in the development of TLX101-Tx as a potential treatment for first-line glioblastoma. The tolerability amongst patients, and the absence of dose-limiting toxicities observed on this study strongly support the continued development of this targeted radiopharmaceutical candidate. We thank the principal investigators, their clinical teams, and the patients who have participated in this important research.”

TLX101-Tx is currently also under evaluation in the pivotal IPAX BrIGHT^[2] trial to assess the safety and efficacy of TLX101-Tx in combination with chemotherapy (lomustine), compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (last line). IPAX BrIGHT is actively enrolling and dosing patients in Australia and the Netherlands and is also approved in Austria and Belgium with enrollment to begin soon. This marks the first radiopharmaceutical therapy to enter Phase 3 development for glioblastoma.

Telix’s PET imaging candidate TLX101-Px (floretyrosine F 18) has been used across the IPAX series of trials to identify participants with overexpressed LAT1 as suitable candidates for TLX101-Tx therapy, and to provide baseline and follow-up information on tumor response and progression.

About TLX101-Tx

TLX101-Tx (¹³¹I-iodofalan) is a systemically administered radiopharmaceutical therapy that targets L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), which is typically over-expressed in glioblastoma. TLX101-Tx utilizes a small molecule approach due to the need to cross the blood brain barrier, the normal protective barrier that prevents many potential drug candidates entering the brain. In addition to IPAX-2, TLX101-Tx was also the subject of the IPAX-1 study^[3] in recurrent glioblastoma, which reported a median overall survival (OS) of 13 months from the initiation of treatment with TLX101-Tx, or 23 months from initial diagnosis^[4]. Preliminary results from the IPAX-Linz investigator-initiated trial of TLX101-Tx in the recurrent setting were consistent and confirmatory to IPAX-1, with a median OS of 11.9 months from the relapse prior to trial enrollment and 32.2 months from initial diagnosis^[5]. Beyond the clinical trial setting, an early access program for TLX101-Tx in Europe has dosed 18 patients at first recurrence or later, further establishing the clinical utility of TLX101-Tx.

TLX101-Tx has received orphan drug designation in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of glioma. TLX101-Tx and TLX101-Px have not received a marketing authorization in any jurisdiction and are for investigational use only.

About glioblastoma  

Glioblastoma (GBM), is a high-grade glioma and the most common and aggressive form of primary brain cancer, with approximately 22,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the U.S.^[6]. The mainstay of treatment for GBM comprises surgical resection, followed by combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite such treatment, recurrence occurs in almost all patients^[7], with an expected survival duration of 12-15 months from diagnosis^[8].
