Filipino fighter Joey Canoy leaves for the United States this Tuesday to challenge Puerto Rican two-belt titleholder Oscar Collazo on 20 June in Oceanside, California.
Collazo’s World Boxing Organization and World Boxing Association straps will be on the line in the scheduled 12-rounder clash of lefties at the Frontwave Arena.
Canoy is the huge underdog but still a live one at that.
“We have carefully studied Collazo’s style, his strengths and weaknesses,” said Canoy, who will be fighting for the first time in America.
Case in point is Collazo’s bout with another Filipino — Jayson Vayson — last September in Indio, California.
“We saw how Jasyon hurt Collazo with punches to the body. We hope to do it as well,” said Canoy, who arrives in Manila from his base camp in General Santos City on Monday alongside chief handler and promoter JC Mananquil.
Collazo, 29, has logged an immaculate slate of 14-0-0 with 11 knockouts.
Canoy, who turns 33 the week after his fight with Collazo, holds a 25-5-2 card with 15 knockouts.
