WBO TITLE BELT, INALIS KAY JOHN RIEL CASIMERO

Hinubaran ng World Boxing Organization o WBO si John Riel Casimero ng sinturon. Inalis sa Pinoy boxer ang bantamweight championship belt. Ayon sa ulat, ibinigay ng WBO ang title belt kay Paul Butler bilang new title holder. Otomatikong magiging no.1 contender si ‘Quadro Alas’ sa nangyaring ito.

Nakatakda sanang depensahan ni Casimero ang kanyang belt laban kay Butler. Nakakasa ang laban nila noong nakaraang buwan.

Subalit, nakansela matapos lumabag  si Casimero sa British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) rules.

“Casimero “won’t be fit to fight” after the Board were made aware of him having “made use of a sauna in close proximity” to his fight possibly to lose weight,” ayon sa ahensiya.

“Casimero also showed “alarming reduction in weight of 10lbs in just three days” based on his two check-weighs with the Board since arriving in the UK, which the Board said as going against their medical guidelines,” anila.
