Thirdy Ravena expressed his willingness to lend a helping hand in middleweight boxer Eumir Marcial’s preparation for the Tokyo Olympics.

Eumir Marcial once again voiced his frustration over the issue surrounding the government’s financial support for his Tokyo Olympics preparation.

In the eyes of national boxing team consultant Donald Abnett, it’s still a long way when it comes to the conditioning as well as the fighting form for Tokyo Olympics-bound boxer Eumir Marcial.

With less than 10 weeks before the Tokyo Olympics, top officials from amateur boxing have urged Eumir Marcial to focus on his training in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics.

Upon the recommendations of the national boxing team coaching staff, the Association of Boxing Alliances of the Philippines (ABAP) has decided not to send the majority of its delegation that is currently in a training camp in Thailand in the ASBC Elite Men and Women Boxing Championships in Dubai.

One of the things that Eumir Marcial was able to improve after his stint in the US is his punching power.

Tokyo Olympics-bound boxer Eumir Marcial said that more than his form, he is more bent on getting his fighting weight in time for this year’s ASBC Asian Elite Men and Women Boxing Championships on May 21 to June 1 in Dubai.

As part of its final preparation for the Tokyo Olympics this year, the Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) is sending a full contingent to the 2021 ASBC Asian Elite Men and Women Boxing Championships on May 21 to June 1 in Dubai.

For as long as the Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) continues to recognize and include Eumir Marcial as one of its boxers, the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) has no problem providing the Tokyo Olympics-bound boxer with his needs.

Even before the boxing national team left for Thailand for a training camp, three of the four Tokyo Olympics-bound athletes were given the scenario of not going home until after the Games in Japan.

Talks continue between the Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) officials and Filipino boxer Eumir Marcial as far as preparation is concerned for the Tokyo Olympics.

Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) President Bambol Tolentino is confident more Filipino athletes will earn berths to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics following the recent addition of boxers Nesthy Petecio and Carlo Paalam to the Japan-bound contingent.

World champion boxer Nesthy Petecio believed that the guidance of her late best friend, Alexcel Dargantes, was instrumental in her journey of becoming the latest athlete to earn a spot in the Tokyo Olympics.

The Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) has shed light on the recent social media clamor of Olympic-bound boxers Irish Magno and Eumir Felix Marcial.

Marcial, who is currently based in Los Angeles, California, shared recent updates on social media regarding his training under the helm of renowned coach Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Boxing Club.

The coronavirus spares no one, and the contagion that has kept us wondering and wishing for the end of this dark road has only gotten potent, no thanks to a new variant that is as savage but more infectious. As the world thirsts for the dose of invincibility, it becomes clear that there is hope and the storm may soon vanish.

Shunning fanfare for charity, the Philippine Sports Commission, on January 24, 2020 —30 years after the Eighth Congress created and established Republic Act No. 6847 known as the PSC Act — celebrated three decades of existence by donating its anniversary budget to victims of the Taal Volcano explosion a week earlier, little knowing that a deadly global crisis that would require more than just foregoing party funds was about to break out less than eight weeks later.

Tokyo Olympics bound boxer Irish Magno said there is nothing she can do except to continue training amid growing concerns over the possible cancellation of the Games due to the coronavirus pandemic.
