Casimero hopes Inoue doesn’t fall too fast

Filipino WBO world light heavyweight champion (up to 53.5 kg) John Riel Casimero (29-4, 20 KO) hopes that in the conditions of quarantine and pandemic, his Japanese counterpart Naoya Inoue (19-0, 16 KO), who holds the WBA/IBF titles in the same category, does not forget to keep fit.

Recall that they were supposed to hold the unification on April 25 in the United States, but the match was postponed indefinitely.

“Inoue, you train well there so that we can have a good fight. I hope your jaw will last at least a few rounds, unlike Tete, who broke it so easily,” the Filipino Braves, referring to his opponent in an interview with Manila Time. Recall that in November last year, he took the title from South African Zolani Tete, stopping the favorite in the 3rd round.

Casimero assured that for his part, he remains on alert, training in Las Vegas: “I have nothing to do in the Philippines, so I decided to stay here for people who believe in me. A new fight date may be announced soon, so I’ll be ready when the time comes.”

Saul Alvarez told when he will finish his career

One of the main stars of modern professional Boxing, Mexican Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KO), who will turn 30 in July, said in an interview with Box Azteca that he does not plan to end his career in the coming years.

“I think 36 is a good age to finish your career. Well, a maximum of 37 years, – Saul says. – Discipline, hard work and dedication are always with me. The only thing that has changed over time is my success. As it is, I still train every day, as if I were a novice. Boxing is my life, my body is hungry for a fight, and I train because I love it very much, regardless of whether I have a fight planned or not.”

At the same time, he already knows what he will do in “retirement”: “I will devote myself to business and play Golf every day.”
