Former WBC flyweight champion Sonny Boy Jaro and WBC top strawweight contender Denver ?The Excitement? Cuello Singwangcha arrived in Narita, Japan Thursday for their April 7 bouts in Osaka.
Promoter Aljoe Jaro, who accompanied his fighters to Japan, informed philboxing that boxing fans in the Land of the Rising Sun welcomed both boxers and recognized Cuello and were happy to meet him in person. Aljoe Jaro said that the climate is to their liking and Cuello is just a couple of pounds over the contracted weight.
?Sonny Boy is also feeling great,? Jaro said, ?We?ll continue our workout at the Kameda gym before we proceed to Osaka.?
Cuello will face Takashi Kunishige in what could very well be his last bout before he goes for the world 105 lb division title against the winner of the May 3 fight between WBC champion Xiong Zhao Zhong of China and Carlos Ortega of Panama. Sonny Boy is set to face Hiroyuki Hisataka. Team Jaro has set their sets on Sonny Boy moving up to challenge the WBA super flyweight champion Kohei Kono of Japan.
