Jerwin Ancajas unfazed by world title challenge in hostile territory

Jerwin Ancajas is unfazed that he will have to beat WBA world bantamweight champion Takuma Inoue in the latter's territory on February 24 at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan.

Ancajas, 32, is hoping to become a two-division world champion when he takes on Inoue later this week.

According to the Panabo City native, his mindset is locked solely on getting the job done.

"When I fight I do not think [about hometown decisions]. As a boxer I just show my best atop the ring," Ancajas said.

"I want to convince [judges] every round that I am ahead especially when I am the visiting opponent. I have to be dominant every round and as a boxer I know when I am ahead or not."

Ancajas' trainer and manager Joven Jimenez, meanwhile, echoed his fighters approach to the upcoming bout.

"We are used to fighting anywhere. When we are visitors it is kill or be killed. We just fight and not think about [hometown decisions]. We focus on our fight and our game plan," Jimenez stressed.
