Filipino Fernando Lumacad of the American Boxing Academy (ABA) of Ken Smith has arrived in Los Angeles accompanied by his trainer Glenn Salazar a week before he takes on Mexican icon Jorge Arce on June 20 in Mexico.

Lumacad will stay in LA for a few days, before flying to Mexico in time for the fight.

Filipino promoter Sammy Gello-ani is expected to join Lumacad on Monday evening in Los Angeles, and will fly with the fighter to Mexico a few days later.
