Boxer Weljon Mindoro has been ruled out to replace Eumir Marcial in the 80kg division at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games after suffering a TKO loss in Los Angeles last week. Mindoro, a 2025 SEA Games bronze medalist in the 75kg class, was considered to take Marcial’s slot before losing to Mexican Carlos Ocampo. Marcial is booked to face Omar Ulises Huerta in a pro bout in Temecula, California, on Sept. 19 and his availability for Nagoya depends on the outcome of the fight. With Mindoro out of the picture, it’s back to the Marcial option for the Asian Games.
