CASTA?ARES FACES JAPANESE IN REMATCH SEPT. 11

Reigning World Boxing Foundation junior welter king Dindo `Diesel` Casta?ares goes up on a grudge rematch with Japanese Daigoro Yamamoto on September 11 at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

Promoter Sammy `Don King` Gello-ani, in an interview, also informed that although Casta?ares` WBF crown will not be risked, but the bragging rights will be put at stake as he had already figured in a draw with Yamamoto when they first met in a 2002 fight in Osaka, Japan.

`I will try to settle the score between us. I know he is ready. I am ready too. Fans should not blink,` Castanares said in between mitt session with trainer Jeremiah Quijano.

Castanares is currently training at the famed ALA Gym in Cebu, sparring against the likes of OPBF 130-lb champ Randy Suico, Bart Abapo, Dondon Sultan and Nori Iwatani.

`This is an important fight for Dindo as a loss will surely derail major plans for him. A win, however, will be a ticket to bigger fights to defend his WBF title,` said Gello-ani in an interview.
