MANILA, Philippines — If plans don’t miscarry, the Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) will have a heavyweight boxer competing for country and flag in the near future.
ABAP president Ed Picson did not divulge the name of the said boxer but hinted this one has a potential and is interested to take up the sport instead of the more popular basketball and volleyball.
“There is this heavyweight, 18 years old, 210 pounds, six-foot-one boxer somewhere in the Visayas and very interested in joining us, pero medyo hilaw pa (but he is still raw),” said Picson during yesterday’s online Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum.
