Undefeated lightweight Jonel “Kid Pacquiao” Dapidran (6-0, 3 KOs) will continue to train in Cebu City, Philippines, while waiting on a work visa to the United States.
Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz is moving the entire camp from Las Vegas to Cebu City to work with the 17-year-old slugger, including top trainer Jun Agrabio.
“Agrabio is going there to help this kid get to the next level,” said Lewkowicz.
Lewkowicz says that Dapidran will have one or two fights in the Philippines while awaiting the proper visa.
“I want to keep him active so that when he makes his US debut he will be ready to put on a great show,” explained Lewkowicz.
