Filipino Fernando Lumacad of the American Boxing Academy (ABA) of Ken Smith has arrived in Los Angeles accompanied by his trainer Glenn Salazar a week before he takes on Mexican icon Jorge Arce on June 20 in Mexico.
Lumacad will stay in LA for a few days, before flying to Mexico in time for the fight.
Filipino promoter Sammy Gello-ani is expected to join Lumacad on Monday evening in Los Angeles, and will fly with the fighter to Mexico a few days later.
Lumacad has been preparing extremely hard at the ABA Gym in Digos City, knowing that the bout with Arce will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for him.
American Ken Smith, who manages Lumacad, said that the Pinoy fighter dreams of a better life for him and his family, and Arce is the one man who stands in the way to that cherished dream.
