Did John Riel Casimero fix his comeback fight against Kyonosuke Kameda?

Rumors of match-fixing have surrounded Filipino boxer John Riel Casimero after his decision loss against Kyonosuke Kameda at the Bishkek Arena on Saturday, Oct. 25.

The rumors escalated after Casimero’s trainer and brother, Jayson Casimero, said that they needed to lose against Kameda to escalate their plans in the future.

“Kailangan siguro natin magpatalo para sa mga plano. Basta ang sinasabi ko, kailangan natin magpatalo para sa mga plano,” Jayson said.

“Pero ang sakit ‘no? Kailangan mong gawin ‘yon para sa plano?,” he added.

Fans on social media also joined in to accuse Casimero of match-fixing after their bet on the former world champion failed.

Some fans sent an email to the  Games and Amusements Board (GAB) after reportedly betting their tuition fees, motorcycles, and even cows due to tips that assured them it was a “sure-win” for Casimero.

“Halos wala pa akong kilalang atleta na nagsabi na pumusta kayo sa’kin kasi sure win na ’to,” the complainant wrote.

Casimero, who was a former International Boxing Federation (IBF) Junior-Flyweight and Flyweight and World Boxing Organization (WBO) Bantamweight king, absorbed his first defeat since 2017.

“Quadro Alas” was recently suspended by the Japanese Boxing Commission after multiple failed attempts to make weight.
