On January 02, 2013, the title fight between IBF World Jr. Flyweight Champion Johnriel Casimero of the Philippines and the mandatory challenger Luis Rios of Panama will go to purse bids.
Sampson Boxing LLC of Sampson Lewkowicz who is the international promoter of Casimero will represent SGG Sports Promotions of Samson Gello-ani, Casimero?s Philippine promoter, in the purse bidding. Sampson boxing will do his best to defend Casimero with utmost dignity. Sampson Boxing and SGG Sports Promotions are hopeful that Casimero?s interest to defend his title in his own country, Philippines will be a priority in the event Sampson Boxing wins the purse bidding. This will depend however on the support of a Philippine television network and sponsors who are more than willing to partner on this mandatory title fight.
However, if and when it is not feasible, then Casimero is willing and ready at all times to fight wherever the title fight will be staged by his promoters as proven already in the past and for the television network to show it live here in the Philippines.
Sampson Boxing and SGG Promotions are confident that wherever the fight will be Casimero will do his best to defend his IBF World Jr. Flyweight belt and his international promoter Sampson Boxing is always there to support and protect his current champion John Reil Casimero to the best of his ability.
