Gejon

As his bosom buddy, Oriental boxing champion Rodel Mayol of the Philippines would like to wish compatriot and world minimumweight title challenger Eriberto 'Yukka' Gejon more power. And the 24-year-old Mayol means that literally. According to Mayol, current Oriental Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) 105-lb champion, Gejon needs to redouble the degree of his punches for him to get a much better chance of becoming a world champion this weekend. Sunday night in Yokohama, Japan, the 26-year-old Gejon battles reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) minimumweight ruler Yutaka Niida in a 12-round championship match.
