Unless a Philippine television network provides all-out support for the title bout of former IBF light flyweight champion in his mandatory shot against champion Amnat Ruenroeng of Thailand the title fight will almost certainly be held in Thailand with all the risks involved.
Casimero?s co-promoter and international matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz told the New Standard/Viva Sports ?I wish a TV network will support Casimero so the fight could he held in the Philippines.?
He said ?we need the support of the right people? to make this happen.
TV 5 of businessman-sportsman Manny Pangilinan supported Casimero?s light flyweight title fight when he defeated Luis Lazarte in a fight that was marred by a riot after it was stopped in the tenth round and Casimero was awarded a TKO victory.
Lewkowicz said he and his Filipino counterpart Sammy Gello-ani want to give Casimero a chance to fight for a second world title before his hometown fans and ?don?t want to make m money? as long as the fight gets done.
He also commended Casimero for his influence over Marvin ?Marvelous? Sonsona who has learned from him and become a more dedicated and mature fighter.
