JOHN RIEL CASIMERO THE NEW SUPERSTAR IN THE PHILIPPINES BOXING
MANILA, Philippines — WBO bantamweight champion JohnRiel Casimero will be ready to shock the world when he battles unbeaten super WBA/IBF titlist Naoya Inoue in Las Vegas on April 25 and if the Japanese is called the “Monster,” the Ormoc slugger said he’ll be known as the “Monster Buster” after the unification showdown.

Casimero, 30, and Inoue, 26, are making their second appearance in the US. But Casimero is more of a road warrior with wins in Nicaragua, Argentina, Panama, Mexico, China, US and the UK. Aside from the US, Inoue has fought once in the UK with all his other bouts in Japan.

Casimero is coming off a third round knockout over South African Zolani Tete in Birmingham while Inoue survived a grind in outpointing Nonito Donaire in his last outing in Saitama. Both fights were held last November. Casimero’s record is 29-4, with 20 KOs. Inoue turned pro in 2012, five years later than Casimero, and has a 19-0 record, with 16 KOs. Each fighter has won world titles in two other divisions.
