De La Torre.
Undefeated prospect Harmonito dela Torre (12W-0L 7KO's) will fight on the undercard of Johnriel Casimero's defense of his IBF jr.flyweight title on May 3 in Cebu City. The 20 year old Dela Torre will be pitted against Gadwin Tubigon of the Flores Boxing Gym for the WBF International super featherweight title.
The 29 year old Tubigon (10W-8L-2D 5KO's) is trained by Brix Flores of Mandaue City. Last December he gave unbeaten prospect Albert Pagara of the ALA Gym a tough time before losing a unanimous decision in Dumaguete City. Tubigon bounced back in January by stopping Jeffrey Jimenez in five rounds in Zamboanga del Norte.
Dela Torre won twice in Macau by the short route against Indonesians Jason Butarbutar (KO3) and Yakobus Heluka (KO1). The fight against Butarbutar was on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao's victory against Brandon Rios.
Dela Torre is co-managed by Jim Claude Manangquil and Australian Peter Maniatis. The team is also sponsored by Lonsdale boxing equipment; Dela Torre would like to take this opportunity to thank Lonsdale for their support.
Casimero is penned to stake his world crown against Colombia's Mauricio Fuentes at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.
