MANILA, Philippines ? Johnriel Casimero will have little time to celebrate his knockout victory over Cesar Ramirez on Saturday night, August 24. In less than a month, he?ll have to return to the gym for a tougher, bigger test ahead ? Zolani Tete.
Following his 10th round stoppage of the game Mexican at San Andres Sports Complex, Casimero, the World Boxing Organization interim bantamweight titlist, will get a crack at the WBO ?regular? 118-pound champion in November in the United States.
That?s because the WBO has ordered Casimero and Tete to fight for the title within 90 days.
According to Sean Gibbons, president of MP (Manny Pacquiao) Promotions which handles Casimero, they?re going to pounce on the opportunity for the Philippines to produce another world champion.
?On Monday, Senator Manny Pacquiao and his MPP will make a significant offer along with our partner PBC (Premier Boxing Champions) to do the fight in the United States in November of this year,? Gibbons, an international matchmaker, said in a message.
