Former WBC super flyweight champion Gerry Penalosa said late Saturday while watching the OPBF title defense of minimum weight champion Rodel Mayol, "I want a championship belt before I retire" and said he plans to get one when he starts training in the US next month under the famed trainer of super lightweight champion Buddy McGirt in Orlando, Florida along with flashy Z "The Dream" Gorres.

Penalosa Wants a Championship Belt Before Retirement

Gerry Penalosa has a lot of options aside from his dream fight with Rafael Marquez.
@115
Martin Castillo - WBA champ
Katsushige Kawashima - WBC champ, the victor over his nemesis Masamori Tokuyama
I'll pick Gerry anytime, anywhere against these two.
@118
Ratanachai Sor Vorapin - WBO champ, his former TKO victim
Veeraphol Sahaphrom - long-time WBC champ, this guy is ripe for the picking, has slowed with age.
Gerry can win over these two Thai champs even on their own turf.
I hope he'll get at least 2 meaningful fights with some named fighters before going after a championship belt. Carbajal, Montiel, Munoz or Sasakul perhaps.
