Less than two weeks after electrifying the United Kingdom, Jerwin Ancajas is already checking back to training camp in Cavite, to prepare for his much-awaited US debut being eyed for February 2018.
“Jerwin’s going to start working out,” said Ancajas’ chief handler and trainer Joven Jimenez after the Bulletin-Tempo came out with a story last week about Top Rank Bob Arum’s plans of importing the reigning International Boxing Federation super-flyweight king.
Ancajas scored a knockdown-filled sixth-round stoppage of Jamie Conlan of Northern Ireland last Nov. 18 at the SSE Arena in Belfast, a performance so explosive that the Hall of Fame promoter drooled over the prospects of bringing him over to America.
“Everyone’s talking about this terrific kid, Jerwin Ancajas,” said Arum, who promises to give the IBF 115-lb titlist an attractive foe.
