The Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) has been working double time to send Olympic hopefuls and qualifiers to a training camp in Thailand in the midst of the pandemic.

After a successful pro debut in the US last week, Filipino boxer Eumir Marcial reiterated that he is fully committed to the national team which is preparing for the Tokyo Olympics next year.

Even with the hectic schedule inside the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) bubble, coaches are finding time to keep their body in shape.

The Joint Administrative Order (JAO), made up of the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), Games and Amusements Board (GAB) and Department of Health (DOH), admits it will take more than just the submission of safety protocols for contact sports to get the go signal to resume training.

Boxing chief Ricky Vargas believes he might end up with a broken heart if the Tokyo Olympics gets scrapped altogether.
