At approximately 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Ana ?the Hurricane Julaton along with her manager Angelo Reyes arrived in Toronto?s Lester B. Pearson Airport. Celebrated coach Freedie Roach arrived shortly after, fresh from last night?s event from San Antonio, Texas.

Philboxing and GMA Pinoy TV were present to welcome Ana, Angelo and Coach Roach with their fans as they passed through the arrivals gate at 5:30 p.m. Ana arrived very lively and in great shape for her upcoming fight this Wednesday. She did a brief interview with the network station regarding her fight against Maria Elena Villalobos of Mexico for the WBO female superbantamweight title at Rumble at Rama XII to be held in Orillia, Ontario on June 30th.

Heavy rains along with the G20 summit held in town this weekend made traveling in Toronto very challenging. There were numerous road closures with major highways and in downtown where Team Ana Julaton are staying. Despite of the road closures and rains, Ana scheduled a workout at a downtown gym a few hours after she arrived.

The official and final Rumble at Rama XXII press conference will be held the downtown Delta Chelsea Hotel at 10 a.m Monday morning where Freddie Roach will be introduced to the Toronto media for the first time.
