Handang-handa na ang bakbakan! The stage is officially set as Cebuano hopeful Sherwin Dacullo successfully made weight for the biggest challenge of his young career, scaling in at a comfortable 47.40 kg (104.5 lbs).
His Japanese opponent, Rento Miyazawa (宮澤漣斗) (8-3-2, 3 KOs) of Nagoya, comfortably tipped the scales at 47.45 kg (104.6 lbs).
Both young boxers looked razor-sharp, strong, and shinning with confidence for this high-stakes showdown scheduled for this coming Sunday, August 16, at the Ichinomiya Chuo Plaza Gym in Aichi, Japan.
With the weight limit out of the way, both fighters are officially cleared to battle for the prestigious WBC Youth Minimumweight World Title (105 lbs).
