IBF 115-lb world champion Jerwin Ancajas (25-1-1, 16 KOs) is now in Macau for his first defense on January 29 against Jose Alfredo Rodriguez (32-4) of Mexico. Jerwin won the championship by scoring a dominating unanimous decision over McJoe Arroyo of Puerto Rico last September 3, 2016.
Jerwin's training includes more than 50 rounds of sparring with former WBA interim world 115-lb champion Drian Francisco. He sparred about 30 more rounds with other sparring partners.
Manager-trainer Joven Jimenez says that Jerwin is in tip-top shape and he is confident Jerwin would do well against Rodriguez to successfully defend his crown.
