Former bantamweight champion John Riel Casimero is finally making his much anticipated boxing ring return following a year-long hiatus when he takes on former world title challenger Saul Sanchez on Oct. 15 in Yokohama, Japan.The fight also marked the return of Casimero to the Land of the Rising Sun after his Japan debut, which also happened to be his last bout, ended up with a technical draw after his Japanese foe, Yukinori Oguni, sustained a bad cut from an accidental headbutt.No.
Sanchez, for one, is certainly no pushover being ranked No. 8 by the WBO and No. 13 by the WBC and once fought for the WBO bantamweight strap but lost to then champion Jason Moloney of Australia. Also seeing action in the undercard is another Filipino pug in Vince Paras who is entering the final installment of his trilogy against Japanese former two-division world champion Hiroto Kyoguchi.
