MANILA, Philippines — Mexican Luis Angel Castillo fired the first shot on reigning champion Melvin Jerusalem five days before they clash for the WBC minimumweight title.

The undefeated challenger told the Filipino title holder to enjoy his remaining days as world champion as he guaranteed taking with him back home the 105-lbs championship belt.

“I know this is going to be a tough fight, but I know we will emerge victorious. And I want to tell the champion here that he should enjoy his days as a world champion,” said Castillo through an interpreter.

Castillo made the warning in yesterday’s PSA Forum at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.

“Mag-enjoy din siya dito sa Pilipinas at salamat nakarating siya dito. Tingnan na lang natin sa laban,” replied the WBC champion during the session presented by San Miguel Corp. , Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, Milo, Smart/PLDT and ArenaPlus.
