Froilan ?The Sniper? Saludar was at 112.4 lbs one day before the official weigh-in and Promoter Sammy Gello-ani assured philboxing in an e-mail message that the unbeaten prospect was fit and ready for his IBF eliminator in Puerto Rico against McWilliams Arroyo.

Saludar spent weeks getting into fighting shape in Dr.Rajan Yraola?s gym in Quezon City under the watchful eyes of trainer Jun Agrabio, who guided Marvin Sonsona to victory in his rematch against Wilfredo Vazquez,Jr in New York.

?We had the final press conference today here at the Salon Opera room of Verdanza Hotel, Carolina, Puerto Rico. Fighting for the main event for the IBF Flyweight Eliminator is McWilliam Arroyo of Puerto Rico and Froilan Saludar of the Philippines supported by Cezar Seda vs Alex Rangel and Prichard Colon vs Carlos Garcia...The event promoted by Golden Boy Live with PR Best Boxing will be live on Fox Sports1 and Fox Deportes .? Gello-ani informed philboxing.

When Saludar was asked to talk in front of the media he said, ?I will not waste this great opportunity given to me fighting against McWilliams Arroyo for this IBF title eliminator. Although Arroyo is an Olympian and a good and talented fighter I promised that I will do all my best to win this fight. I have trained hard in preparing for this fight with my trainer Jun Agrabio and I am 100% ready".

Saludar and Arroyo will fight June 19 at the Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.
