PENALOSA WBC FIGHT SET FOR APRIL 25?
Pasay City, April 6, 1998 - Philippine Daily Inquirer reports that defending World Boxing Superflyweight crown-holder Gerry Penalosa will fight to defend his title for the third time, Mexican Joel Luna Zarate on April 25, 1998 here at the Cuneta Astrodome.
This announcement was given by Penalosa's manager Rex "Wakee" Salud. It is not mentioned though if this rescheduled date is approved by the WBC president Jose Sulaiman.
Sulaiman announced earlier that April 18 was the last date for the fight as scheduling was hampered by financial constraints and the unavailability of the Cuneta Astrodome.
Zarate and entourage are expected to arrive in Manila on April 18.
