GUSTONG kasahan ni IBF super flyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas ang katapat niya sa WBC na si Mexican Juan Francisco Estrada sa unification bout sa Setyembre o Oktubre sa United States.
Ayon kay international matchmaker Sean Gibbons, dapat lang magsagupa na sina Estrada at Ancajas makaraang matagumpay na naiedepensa ng Pinoy boxer ang kanyang titulo sa ikapitong pagkakataon kay mandatory contender Ryuichi Funai ng Japan via 7th round knockout noong Mayo 4 sa Stockton, California.
Naagaw naman ni Estrada ang WBC super flyweight title sa 12-round unanimous decision victory kay dating Thai champion Wisaksil Wangek noong nakaraang Abril 26 sa Inglewood, California.
“Right now Top Rank is looking at scheduling Jerwin again in late September until the end of October. Our plan was we were chasing Rungvisai, we wanted to unify with him, but he lost to Juan Estrada and now Estrada is the man,” sabi ni Gibbons sa GMANews.
“If you look at the top 115 pounders, it’s Estrada then Jerwin second, Yafai, of course Donnie Nietes is up there. The idea is to move forward to make the fight with Estrada, that’s what we told Top Rank,” diin ni Gibbons. “We really want to fight champions. Anybody with a belt that’s who we want to fight.”
“Jerwin has beaten guys, but people love unifications they love the best fighting the best. Right now Estrada is the man and that’s the guy we want to fight,” aniya.
May kartada si Ancajas na 31-1-2 na may21 pagwawagi sa knockouts kumpara kay Estrada na may rekord na 39 panalo, 3 talo na may 26 pagwawagi sa knockouts.
