Denver 'The Excitement' Cuello Singwangcha has issued a challenge to WBC minimumweight champion Kazuto Ioka of Japan to face him inside the ring. Promoter Aljoe Jaro wrote an e-mail to philboxing which contained a letter from Cuello stating that he would even fight Ioka for free; just pay for the air fare to Japan and for food and accommodation. Jaro and Cuello say that Ioka needs to prove himself in a fight against the Filipino top contender.
Cuello (29W-4L-6D, 19KO's) is the reigning WBC Silver minimumweight titlist. In the letter,he states that he has been the number one contender but Ioka (9W-0L, 6 KO?s) chose an easy opponent,citing Ioka's last Thai challenger who was stopped in one round. Cuello also stated that he is the real champion.
Here is the e-mail:
Dear Ioka Team,
Kung tutuong champion sya,labanan nya ako (Denver Cuello) Cuello D Singwangcha.
Patunayan niya sa buong mundo na totoong champion sya.Hindi sya totoong champion para sa akin.Kung totoong champion lumaban sya kahit kanino.Hindi yong pinipili nya ang mga makalaban nya kagaya ng mga trycle driver,tok-tok driver ng thailand.Ako ang labanan nya para panutayan nya na champion sya talaga.Hindi sa pera pera lang sa tuwing laban nya.
Hinahamon ko si Ioka, kahit sa bansa nya lalabanan ko siya o kahit isang dangkal ang layo sa harapan ng bahay nila ay lalabanan ko parin siya. Kahit mga kamag anak nya pa ang Referee at mag judges.Hindi ako sa pera pera lang, lalaban ako sa kanya na kahit wala na akong premyo.Kahit sa japan pa. Pamasahian lang nila kami ng manager ko at trainer at bigyan ng hotel at pagkain dun (Japan) ay lalabanan ko si Ioka.
Ang sa akin lang ay para mapatunayan ko sa buong mundo na ako ang tunay na champion. Ilang taon na ako naging No.1 bakit ayaw nila lumaban sa akin.kaya para sa sarili ko hindi sila ang tunay na champion.Ako ang tunay na champion.
Pinaparating ko sa Promoter nya, Manager nya, sa Trainer nya, at sa kanya mismo (Ioka) patunayan mo na totoong champion ka.Labanan mo ako na kahit wala akong Premyo...pamasahe, hotel, pagkain lang lalaban ako....ako na ang piliin nyo sa sunod na laban mo.
Denver Cuello Singwangcha,
Ang tunay na champion
