Enriquez (L) and Kaensa (R).
OOZING with confidence, Michael Enriquez of the Sanman Boxing Gym has arrived in Thailand for his much-awaited showdown with Yutthana Kaensa on June 29.
Accompanied by Sanman's head trainer Romeo Desabille, Enriquez set foot in Thailand around 2 p.m. Tuesday (June 27) aboard Philippine Airlines flight PR 376.
The 25-year-old Enriquez, who has 13 victories, nine by knockouts, six losses and one draw, vowed to do whatever it takes to emerge victorious in enemy's territory.
At stake in the fight is the WBA Asia flyweight belt.
?I know I need a knockout to win and I will do everything to get it. My opponent is a good fighter but I didn't come to Thailand to lose,? said Enriquez, who is coming off a knockout win over Jade Yagahon in T'Boli, Cotabato del Sur.
Jim Claude Manangquil, the youthful chief executive officer (CEO) of Sanman Promotions, said his ward took the needed preparation against his former world champion Thailander opponent.
?Michael trained for two months for this fight. We are facing a former world champion but we are confident,? said Manangquil.
Kaensa sports a menacing 16W-1L-0D, 6KOs record.
The 25-year-old Kaensa started his career with 15 straight wins before losing to Kazuto Ioka last Dec. 31, 2016 fight for the WBA World flyweight belt in Kyoto, Japan.###
