Gejon To Face Japanese Softie!
PhilBoxing.com Fri, 15 Jun 2007
World-ranked Eriberto 'Yukka' Gejon will have the easiest assignment on July 22 in the Philippine versus Japan card promoted by Rex 'Wakee' Salud in Cebu.
The same cannot be said of the main event, where OPBF lightweight champion Randy Suico will have a tough defense against mandatory challenger Koji Samejima (15-1-1, 6 KO's).
Gejon (23-1-1, 14 KO's) who is still ranked no. 1 by the WBA despite having problems making the 105-lb limit, will take on Masatsugu Okada (8 wins, 9 losses, 3 draws, 3 KO's) in the 10-round chief support.
Okada had lost 7 of his last 8 fights, including a first-round demolition at the hands of Rodel Mayol last year.
Also set to see action in the card is Jimrex Jaca, who will take on a soon-to-be-named Japanese.
