GAB, the official regulating and licensing body for professional sports in the country revealed its monthly Philippine Boxing Ratings for the month of January recently with Jerusalem taking the spotlight.

The WBO recently announced that Jerusalem and Collazo’s camps didn’t reach a deal in its 30-day negotiation, forcing the WBO to have a purse bid to make the fight happen.
