Boxing promoter and manager Aljoe Jaro will be leaving for Thailand to meet with Chinese boxing manager Liu Gang, who handles WBC strawweight champion Xiong Zhao Zhong.
Jaro, who manages Denver Cuello Singwangcha, the top contender for Zhong?s title, informed Philboxing that he plans to meet with Liu Gang on Thursday to iron out any kinks and finally secure Cuello?s long awaited world title shot.
Zhong (20W-4L-1D, 11 KO?s) won the vacant title last November by unanimous decision over Javier Martinez Resendiz of Mexico. Cuello (33W-4L-6D, 21 KO?s), a southpaw from Iloilo, won by majority decision over Japanese Takashi Kunishige last April 7 in Osaka.
