Filipino boxer Melvin Oliva Jerusalem wants to dedicate his fight against World Boxing Council (WBC) minimum weight champion Wanheng Menayothin in Phitsanulok, Thailand on January 25, to his late father.
“This fight is for my Papa. I dedicate this one to him. He was a very supportive father and he didn’t miss any of my fight. He really loved boxing,” Jerusalem, 22, told The Manila Times in a phone interview on Thursday. “I’m hoping God will provide me the strength to achieve victory. I’m really blessed to have an opportunity like this.”
