ORPHANED by ALA Promotions, Jeo Santisima and Melvin Jerusalem found a new home in Sanman Promotions.
The General Santos-based outfit has taken under its wings the 24-year-old Santisima and the 26-year-old Jerusalem after the two were released by ALA Promotions following its unfortunate closure two months ago.
Along with the two, SanMan also signed flyweight prospect Esneth Domingo.
“We are flattered that WBC top-ranked Jerusalem, Santisima, and Esneth Domingo decided to trust us,” said Sanman top honcho Jim Claude Mananquil.
“We will do our best to lead their careers into the bright direction and to guide them to reach the ultimate goal which is to win a world title. Indeed, we are excited for these fighters.”
Santisima and Jerusalem were the latest ALA Promotions talents to hook up with a top promotional outfit.
Four-time world division champion Donnie ‘Ahas’ Nietes and Albert Pagara recently signed up a promotional contract with MTK Global.
Santisima (19-3, 16 KOs) and Jerusalem (15-2, 9 KOs) both vied for world titles in the past, but both failed in their respective bids.
Jerusalem lost a close unanimous decision against champion Wancheng Menayothin for the World Boxing Council (WBC) strawweight title belt in 2017, while Santisima lost by TKO to Emmanuel Navarrete for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) featherweight crown last February.
Domingo, 21, meanwhile, has a 13-1 record with 7 KOs.
Following the signing of the three boxers, Sanman also announced a partnership it reached with Japan-based ZIP management of Nobuyuki Matsuura and Mhavic Kamiyama.
The promotional tie-up will help Sanman expand the market of its fighters in boxing-crazy country like Japan.
