The country?s two-division champion Luisito Espinosa arrived in the Philippines Wednesday to pursue his case against promoters of his ill-fated world title defense several years ago in Mindanao.
In an interview with sportsnews.ph, Espinosa said he will be staying in the Philippines for about three weeks and hopes to get concrete development regarding his case against promoter Rod Nazario, matchmaker Lito Mondejar and former South Cotabato governor Larry de Pedro.
Espinosa filed a case before a Manila court after failing to get his fight purse amounting to $150,000 after his successful WBC world featherweight title defense against Carlos Rios of Argentina via 6th round TKO back in December 1997 in Koronadal City.
Thursday morning Espinosa, along with lawyer Ramon Maronilla will attend a hearing regarding the said case.
Monday morning Espinosa will grace the daily morning radio show ?Sports Chat? aired Monday to Friday 8:15-9AM over DZSR Sports Radio 918kHz and thru the internet (www.sports news.ph, www.pbs.gov.ph).
