00:00After defending his WBC World Minimum Weight title, what's next for the Filipino champion Melvin Jerusalem?

00:08Here is Justin Ilano with the report.

00:13Melvin Jerusalem successfully retained his WBC World Minimum Weight title

00:18after a dominant performance against Yuday Shidioka in their match-anticipated championship rematch.

00:27Now, another match is in the world.

00:30This time, against Oscar Coliazzo, the fighter who handled Jerusalem a loss back in May of 2023.

00:37In an exclusive interview with BTV Sports Banter, El Gringo and Jerusalem confirmed that the rematch is already in motion,

00:44although final details have yet to be ironed out.

00:47It was Coliazzo himself who called out the 31-year-old Filipino baxter during his post-fight interview.

01:13Jerusalem, who hails from Bukidnon, warmly accepted the challenge, saying he's ready for the rematch.

01:20Sabay kasi kami lumaban ng araw na yun.

01:23Nagdepinsa din sa belt niya.

01:25Kaya ako din nagdepinsa.

01:27Pagkatapos niyang lumaban, bigla siyang nag-call out sa akin na,

01:30Melvin, kailan na kami maglaban at saka kailan na ako ready.

01:36Always naman ako ready.

01:37Kaya pagkandaan talaga namin yung makapunta kami doon sa US ng maaga-aga.

01:44Despite the best around a potential unification,

01:47Jerusalem made it clear that his top priority is defending his WBC belt,

01:52not chasing all the other world titles to become the undisputed champion.

01:57Kasi sa boxing, may four belts yan.

02:02WBC, IBE, WBO, and WBE.

02:06Pero sa apat na yan, ito talaga yung pinakratering belt ko talaga po.

02:09Kaya hindi ko na yun hinahangad na magpuhan ko pa yung dalawa,

02:14pero tidefensahan ko po ito, itong belt na to.

02:18Kasi kung madidefensahan ko ito, parang yung darating na iba at bunos na yun sa akin.
