GENESIS Servania trades leathers with unbeaten prospect Carlos Castro on Monday, Feb. 11, at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. Servania is moving back down back to the 122-pound division, the weight division that he fought in most of his career. The fight is a 10-round non-title fight.

After leaving the Philippines to start fresh in Japan, the 27-year-old Servania moved up to the featherweight division. He challenged World Boxing Organization (WBO) featherweight king Oscar Valdez and lost by unanimous decision in a very exciting fight two years ago.

Since then, he has won three in a row, with his latest, a third-round knockout of Carlos Carlson last Sept. 28. Servania, a native of Bacolod City, tipped the scales at 121.6 pounds, while the 24-year-old Castro weighed-in at 121 pounds. Servania is 32-1 with 15 knockouts, while Castro is 21-0 with nine knockouts.

“He is well conditioned,” said Servania’s coach and former ALA Gym teammate Mark Gil Melligen. “This fight is 50-50.” (EKA)
