REIGNING World Boxing Organization minimum weight titleholder Melvin Jerusalem is on track in his preparation for his first title defense against Puerto Rico’s Oscar Callazo on May 27 either in Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
The 29-year-old Bukidnon native told BusinessMirror that he’s almost 100 percent ready against Callazo. “I feel I’m in better condition now than when I won the title in Japan,” Jerusalem said. “If it’s courage vs courage, there’s no problem because every boxer is born brave.” “But everything boils down to preparation and fight strategy,” he said. “My training in Cebu is fantastic. I know I can win but I don’t want to be complacent.”
Jerusalem scored a first-round knockout victory against Japanese Masataka Taniguchi in Osaka last January to end the country’s five-month drought without a world boxing champion.“We are doing very well, everything looks good and he’s as sharp as ever,” said head trainer Michael Domingo who’s supervising Jerusalem’s preparations at the Sanman Gym in Cebu City. “We will win the fight but we’re not taking the Puerto Rican lightly.
