WBO bantamweight king Gerry Pe?alosa yesterday disclosed he has received offers to fight IBO bantamweight champ Silence Mabuza, but hinted he is not interested in fighting the latter in his home turf.
Pe?alosa, in an interview, indicated that he has been informed by Cebu promoter Rex 'Wakee' Salud of the offer from the Mabuza camp, but that he is not interested.
Mabuza, according to a report at Boxingscene.com, has reportedly withdrawn from a scheduled bout at the Emperors Palace on November 12 in order to pursue a unification bout with the Filipino world champion.
"I am not interested in that fight. I have a score to settle with Daniel Ponce De Leon. He is who I want to fight," said Pe?alosa.
Pe?alosa has been offered a rematch against WBO super bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon on the pay-per-view undercard to Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Ricky Hatton on Dec. 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Another possible date for a Pe?alosa-De Leon rematch could be in February, with the Philippines as the possible venue for the grudge rematch.
