Jerwin Ancajas set to fight Uruguay's Ruben Casero
Filipino boxer Jerwin Ancajas is set to face Ruben Dario Casero of Uruguay on August 2 in a super bantamweight eight-round match at the Thunder Studios, Long Beach California. Ancajas, who spent time with Manny Pacquiao, Eumir Marcial, and Mark Magsayo in the lead up to the Pacquiao-Barrios fight, currently has a 36-4-2 win-loss-draw record with 24 knockouts. 'They already informed me of that fight prior to the fight week between Manny Pacquiao and Mario Barrios. All good so far in my training and conditioning,' the 33-year-old Ancajas said. 'My opponent is so aggressive that is why I must always be cautious.' MP Promotions president Sean Gibbons, meanwhile, said they are excited to see Ancajas fight. 'Finally, Jerwin will be fighting for his third super bantamweight bout. This is another stepping stone for him to fight for a world title,' Gibbons said. 'He spent his time here in the US training alongside Pacquiao, Marcial and Mark Magsayo. We cannot wait more to see him fight.' '[This is] one of the final steps for Jerwin being able to move into another world title opportunity and it is first in the 122 pounds, but he must win this fight. It is a very crucial fight,' Gibbons added. Ancajas is coming off a win against Richie Mepranum last January for the GAB junior-featherweight title. The 32-year old Casero, meanwhile, is coming off a sixth-round technical knockout win over Federico Andres Penarrieta of Argentina last May and currently holds a 13-4 card with five knockouts. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
