John-Rojas For WBA title.

Undefeated Chris ‘Indonesian thin man’ John is the WBA featherweight champion of the world and will defend his title against late replacement Jose ‘Cheo’ Rojas on the 3rd of December in Rondong Demang Stadium, Tenggarong, Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan (Borneo Island), Indonesia. Of course, most people recognize WBA/IBF featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez as the legitimate champion at the weight and John was hoping to be able to increase his notoriety by fighting former champion Derrick ‘Smoke’ Gainer. However, Gainer pulled out of the fight at the last minute, and while it is still assumed that at some point, Gainer will still receive his shot at the title, for the moment it is a dream chance for Rojas, sporting a 19-5 record to upset the odds and take the title from John in his native land. Stay tuned for more details as they happen.
