THE Philippines versus Mexico rivalry in professional boxing continues as Filipino challenger Charly Suarez goes after the WBO super featherweight title of Mexican Emanuel Navarrete.
In a highly anticipated clash, the 36-year-old Suarez vowed to go all out in his first and probably his last crack at a world title on Sunday morning at the Pechanga Arena, San Diego, California, USA. The unbeaten Suarez holds an 18-0 win-loss card, including 10 by knockout while Navarrete enters the ring with an impressive record of 39-2-1 and 32 KOs.
' Despite a brilliant amateur boxing career, Suarez has not won a gold medal in the Olympics and the Asian Games. This fight, he said, will be his Olympics. 'This is a big part of my boxing career, and to show the world that Filipino boxers are good and can show their talent in the world,' the 5-foot-6 boxer said.
