Filipino Boxers making history at the Tokyo Olympics

Why is BOXING a favorite sport in the Philippines? Jannelle talks to Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) Secretary General Ed Picson to talk about our Filipino Olympians and their reasons for choosing this sport: in many cases, it is their ONLY ticket out of poverty. We cheer for them, because they represent so many of us, and through our Filipino boxers, we vicariously punch our way to success against the odds.

With Hidilyn Diaz finally snatching the FIRST-ever Olympic Gold medal for the Philippines, Filipino boxers say: THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Watch the full interview now on YouTube, and cheer for the Philippine Boxing Team still in the running for GOLD in the #TokyoOlympics2020!

?? Carlo Paalam’s Quarterfinals fight is TOMORROW, Tuesday August 3, 9:15 AM Manila Time.

?Nesthy Petecio‘s FIGHT FOR GOLD is also tomorrow, TUESDAY August 3, 11:05 AM Manila Time.

?Eumir Marcial‘s SemiFinals fight is on THURSDAY, August 5, 1:03 PM Manila Time.

As Boxing is often overshadowed by Basketball as the No. 1 favorite sport of Filipinos, Picson is hoping for the joint support of the government, the media and the private sector to raise awareness and funding for our Filipino boxers. Let’s lend a hand, chip in and give our moral support to develop more world-class boxers that will be able to represent the country well in international competitions. ??
