Journeyman Federico Catubay, who has been tagged by former world flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan of Australia as a mere tuneup in their upcoming fight on Oct. 20 in Sydney, declares that the Armenian-born Aussie will be in for a big surprise come fight night.
"I've studied his tapes and I know how to beat him because his style fits my style perfectly," said Catubay who has been caught by PhilBoxing in his early morning jog together with other ALA boxers at the Cebu Asiatown IT Park on Monday where superstar Manny Pacquiao also runs every other day.
"This is the opportunity of my life and I don't want to miss it," Catubay said adding that his manager, well-known promoter Sammy Gello-ani, has promised him "a world title fight if I get past Darchinyan."
Catubay (20-13-3 11KOs), whose chances of beating Darchinyan is considered a long shot, said that they will leave for Australia early next month to acclimatize himself with the place concluding that "I have not trained as hard as this one all his life."

The erstwhile unbeaten and flamboyant Darchinyan (28-1 22KOs) lost his last fight and his IBF and IBO world titles in a stunning upset against Filipino-American Nonito Donaire in Bridgeport, Connecticut on July 7.
