Melvin Jerusalem WBC World champion at 105 lbs (Minimumweight) says that Oscar Collazo (WBO & The Ring & WBA 105 lbs champion) is scared to face his compatriot Filipino, IBF champion Pedro Taduran, in a unification bout. But Oscar Collazo want another fight with Melvin Jerusalem. But Jerusalem says he doesn't want to fight Collazo a second time because he's waiting for Collazo to fight Taduran first.

Taduran has been calling out Collazo for a long time, over a year. It’s unfortunate but Collazo seems to be revealing the kind of champion he is recently. No Saudi money, no good opponents. Status quo unfortunately.
Oscar Collazo disappoints me; Ricardo "Finito" Lopez was taking on all the best boxers at 105 lbs of hi period ... And Melvin Jerusalem is strange too; he's hiding behind Pedro Taduran to avoid facing Oscar Collazo again.
Had Tadurans team made an offer to them or does Collazo have to reach out? We see this too often in boxing, someone calling another out publicly and then waiting for the other side to open up the negotiations.
Yeah, according to reports I read Taduran's team sent something for negotiations. Pedro Taduran Eyes Undisputed Glory: Unification with Oscar Collazo Looming for 2026 – WBCP
Yeah, I think he’d win too. Taduran might be his best opponent though, and Collazo has been pushed a couple times already. It’s really the only 105 fight I’m interested in.
