JULATON'S NEXT FIGHT IN MANILA?

MANILA -- THERE is a possibility that reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) super bantamweight champion Ana ?The Hurricane? Julaton's next fight will be held in Manila.

This was revealed by Julaton's manager Angelo Reyes during yesterday's SCOOP Forum sa Kamayan in Padre Faura.

?Three more fight this year. Hopefully one of the three fights will be here in Manila,? said Reyes who also pointed out that Mexico wants to stage Julaton's next title defense.

The Fil-Am champion Julaton is coming off a successful defense against Mexican challenger Franchesca ?The Chosen One? Alcanter in Craneway Pavilion in Richmond California coincidentally, the 25th anniversary of ?People Power.?

?I?m very excited to fight here in the Philippines,? added Julaton, who won the verdict of the three judges, 96-94, 98-92, and 97-93 to beat Alcanter and retained his crown.

The 30-year-old Julaton trains under the watchful eye of American trainer Freddie Roach who is also the trainer of Pambansang Kamao Emmanuel ?Manny? Pacquiao.

Team Julaton is currently negotiating with Canadian promoter Allan Tremblay for the possible location of Julaton's next fight sometime in April.

Last night Team Julaton was scheduled to hold a press conference hosted with TV5 at the Hard Rock Caf? in Makati to tackle future plans for Julaton.
