Johnriel Casimero, who defends his International Boxing Federation flyweight title on Sept. 10 in London, says he is forced to fight overseas owing to the lack of support on home soil.
?Walang pera dito sa Pilipinas,? said Casimero, who meets Charlie Edwards of England at the O2 Arena.
Proof that Casimero is being overlooked and not being given the recognition that he deserves as just one of three reigning Filipino world champions, is the fact that he has trained for three straight months in Caloocan City almost in complete isolation.
A leading TV station used to finance Casimero?s fights but their contract wasn?t renewed.
If he wins big, Casimero hopes to see changes.
