KATSIDIS IS GUEST AT 'WORLD CUP'

By Salven L. Lagumbay

According to Brendon Smith, the trainer of WBO lightweight champ Michael Katsidis, the champion will be a guest on the August 11 World Cup of Boxing in Sacramento.

He will also be a guest commentator for ESPN on August 17 Friday Night Fights in California.

This was confirmed by international matchmaker Sampson 'Picasso' Lewkowicz, who revealed today that Katsidis will be at the side of Team Philippines "to cheer and give support since after his fight with Amonsot, he has admired the warrior's heart of a Filipino fighter which he sees in himself."

Katsidis is set to arrive in Sacramento on Friday.

I look forward to hearing him on ESPN. He's an intelligent guy with a bright future in the game.

De La Hoya was up on his ass right after the fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Katsidis fights as a Golden Boy in his next fight. He's got everthing going to be a marketable fighter. Hes got the style the character and he's a white guy.
