Korean vows to snatch title from Pacquiao

Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiao has beaten three Koreans -- Sung Yu Lee, Woo Ki Lee and Seung Kwon Chae -- but he is expected to have his hands full when he clashes with Tetsutor Senrima Saturday at the Ynares Sports Center in Antipolo.

"I am ready. If no fighter from South Korea was able to beat him , somebody from the north will do just that, " said Senrima, who arrived yesterday after a foul-up on his visa papers forced the organizers to re-schedule the event which was originally set last week.

Upon arrival, Senrima, whose real name is Chulho Kang, vowed to strip Pacquiao of his WBC international superbantamweight division crown in the keenly-awaited clash presented by San Miguel Beer and backed by Gov. Casimiro Ynares, Jr., Royal Palm Hotel, and Casino Filipino.

The 31-year-old Senrima said that he's in tip-top condition and has prepared well for this match in an attempt to gain world ranking points.
The 12-round encounter dubbed "Rumble in Antipolo" is being promoted by Gabriel "Bebot" Elorde, Jr. and will also have two other WBC international fights as supporting mainer.

Flyweight titlist Randy Mangubat fights Bert Cano, while Zarlit Rodrigo defends his minimumweight crown against tough Ernesto Rubillar.
