In addition to the weakness of Javin Ankayas, the philippine boxer Javin Ankayas, chose Filipino boxer Javin Ankayas as his first opponent in the unified super-ropeweight, because the other two superstars in the super-ropeweight, Juan Francisco Estrada and "Chocolate" Roman Gonzalez, have been set. If Jevon Ankayas can be defeated in the spring of 2022, then Kazusei Jinggang, who holds two World Champion titles by then, will only need to challenge the winner of the three-game battle between Juan Francis Estrada and Roman Gonzalez. If it goes well, the final unification decisive battle can be staged on the "Great Obscure Day" in 2022.
