They will be fighting for 8 rounds under the 105 pounds division.

The 5-foot-1 Salva is now training under promoter-trainer Joven Jimenez in Lourdes Dangcagan, Bukidnon.
“I’m very thankful to promoter Joven Jimenez and former International Boxing Federation super flyweight champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas for promoting the boxing event since the COVIC-19 pandemic,” said the 25-year-old Salva.
It is the first promotion of Jimenez and Ancajas in Mindanao.
Salva, who is still 110 pounds, has Lito “Naruto” Dante (17-11-4, 9KOs) of Bohol as his sparring partner.
Galero, on the other hand, is taller than Salva by three inches,
He has 17 wins, seven loses and eight knockouts.
Galero was knocked out by Daiki Tomita of Japan in the 3rd round last April 7, 2019 in Sakai.
