MELVIN JERUSALEM arrived in Cebu City on Sunday morning beaming with pride as he held in his hands the World Boxing Organization minimum weight belt he won in Osaka two days ago.
Jerusalem booked a second-round technical knockout victory to grab the title from Japanese Masataka Taniguchi before a jampacked crowd at the Edion Arena in Osaka. “Taniguchi’s an elite fighter that’s why I worked hard for the fight,” said Jerusalem, who improved his win-loss record to 20-2 with 12 knockouts.
“My focus is to protect this belt and, of course, I want to unify the other world titles,” he said. “I will just wait for opportunities, but I have to enjoy and savor this first.”
