CURRENT International Boxing Federation (IBF) Pan Pacific superflyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas of Panabo City will now be fighting in the undercard of the world welterweight championship of 8-world division champion Manny Pacquiao and undefeated Chris Algieri in Macau on November 23.
"Tumawag kasi si Coach Nonoy (Neri) at sinabi na hinahanapan na ngayon ng kalaban si Jerwin para isali sa undercard sa Macau," said promoter-manager Joven Jimenez of MP Promotions at the SCOOP Session of The Royal Mandaya Hotel last Tuesday.
Ancajas, 22 is supposed to face Khunkhiri Wor Wisaruth of Thailand in a non-title bout on Nov. 8 at the Almendras gym in Davao City.
Ancajas is now replaced by promising Marvelo Aballe.
"Malaking break ito kay Jerwin," said Jimenez.
"Masayang masaya ako na medyo excited din. Pero preparado ako kahit iba na ang lalabanan ko," said Ancajas.
The 22-year old Ancajas previously knocked out Indonesian Rochmad Santoso in the first round last August 23 at the Almendras gym.
He also stopped in the opening round Petchwanchai Sor Visetkit of Thailand last May 3 at the USEP Gym for the IBF Pan Pacific crown.
Ancajas' only defeat was when he lost to Mark Anthony Geraldo for the WBO Asia Pacific youth superflyweight title by a majority decision last March 17, 2012. Ancajas, a southpaw, currently has a ring record of 21 wins with 13 knockouts, 1 loss and 1 draw.
His substitute Marvilou Aballe is undefeated with 4 straight wins, 2 by KOs and no loss or draw. Aballe previously won by a unanimous decision against Michael Padayag in a six-rounder last Aug. 23 at Almendras gym.
Wisaruth, on the other hand, tots 15 wins with 10 KOs, 9 defeats and 1 draw. The 34-year old Wisaruth won three of his last four fights all by knockouts.
However, Wisaruth lost by a 7th round TKO to Defry Palulu in Jakarta in last fight August 26.
"Gusto ni Wisaruth na manalo ulit ng knockout," said boxing promoter Joven Jimenez. - LITO DELOS REYES
