And now, that the opportunity has come knocking at his door, Jerusalem said he promised not to leave a single stone unturned in his preparations. After that loss, Jerusalem went on to winning eight of his nine bouts and clinched the Oriental Pacific Boxing Federation minimumweight title in the process.
His former stablemate, four-division world champion, Donnie Nietes, previously held the WBO world minimumweight title from 2007 to 2010. He and stablemate, Kevin Jake Cataraja, are scheduled to fly to Japan to train on Nov. 18, 2022, and they will be back before Christmas. They will be joined by Domingo and Jeo Santisima, who has a scheduled fight next month there.
