Gerry shrugs
off retirement talks
PEŅALOSA: I WILL END FIGHT EARLY
BY CEDELF TUPAS

Whatever the outcome of his fight on Sunday, Filipino boxing fans won't be seeing the last of grizzled warrior Gerry Peņalosa inside the ring.

Already in the twilight of his career, Peņalosa, who started his professional career in 1989, shrugged off retirement talks, saying he still has so many plans, after his duel against Mexican champion Daniel Ponce De Leon at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"I want to fight the best," Peņalosa told maxboxing.com. "So Ponce is one of the best. There are more out there. So I have to beat the best to fight the other best."
