Dasmariñas, who is tipped to become the next Filipino world champion, should get used to the fanfare especially if he beats Karim Guerfi of France for the vacant International Boxing Organization world bantamweight title on April 20 in Singapore. 4 fighter in the WBC ranking, is a quality opponent. He’s ahead of me in the WBC ranking and he also has a good record like me,” he said. His trainer and former Filipino world champion Tacy Macalos also sees Dasmariñas’ power and footwork as his edge. “It will serve as a challenge and motivation for him to work much harder and win the title,” Macalos said in Filipino.
