Llover na, na isinilang sa Cavite, ay may 13-0 rekord,kabilang ang 8 knockouts,habang ang kanyang Japanese rivals may 19-8-1 (16 KOs) card.
“I’ve been training hard and I know that I will be ready when we face each other,” Wika ni Llover sa press conference Lunes sa Quezon City.
Present rin sa TitleHolder chair Dioceldo Sy at dating world champion Gerry Peñalosa,na magsilbing manager ni Llover.
“Ken continues to improve every fight. Japan won’t be easy. Kurihara may not have a perfect record, but he’s a bigger, relentless pressure fighter that Ken has never faced before. If Ken isn’t ready, it’s going to be a long night,” sambit ni Peñalosa.

“TitleHolder is built to be the go-to platform for future Filipino champions. Boxing has always been my passion and this journey starts in the ring. Sending Kenneth Llover to Japan to face a battle-tested warrior like Kurihara is a challenge but with the right preparation, we believe he has what it takes to win,”Wika ni promoter Elmer Anuran.
