ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer wants the WBO super bantamweight Interim title fight between undefeated WBO International super bantamweight champion Genesis ?Azukal? Servania, who is ranked No. 2 in the world, against No. 4 ranked European champion Zsolt Bedak of Hungary to be held in Bacolod City on January 31.
Aldeguer told the Manila Standard/Viva Sports ?there is no way we will fight in Hungary? even as he maintained that the 23 year old Servania who has a record of 25-0 with 11 knockouts has a right to pick the venue indicating that should Bedak?s promoter refuse, then they will request WBO president Francisco ?Paco? Valcarcel to name ?another challenger.?
The WBO itself has reportedly expressed some concern over the ability of Felix Racz of Felix Promotions, who has been listed as Bedak?s promoter by Boxrec.com, to stage the Interim title fight.
ALA Promotions vice president Dennis Canete said ?we are waiting for a response from WBO president Valcarcel about other available title contenders and once we know, we will go and make a pitch with their handlers to stage the fight in Bacolod City.?
Servania has been training hard and will be ready to face any challenger. However, strength and conditioning coach Nick Curson told us he is returning to the US today (Wednesday) and will be back in January.
However, Curson said he had ?given them (the ALA trainers) a program they can follow and hope they do the best.?
The sweet-punching Servania won the WBO International title with a smashing 2nd round TKO on October 26, 2013.
In his first title defense on March 1, 2014 Servania won by a 12th round TKO over Alexander Munoz dropping him in the 2nd, 9th and 12 th rounds to score a smashing victory and in his last fight on September 5 this year before a sell-out crowd at the International Trade Center in Dubai.
