ALA Boxing Promotions president Michael Aldeguer bared his plans for AJ Banal following the boxer’s victory over Canadian Tyson “The Prince of Hali” Cave in the recent Pinoy Pride 7: Battle At Mactan Saturday night at the Hoops Dome in Lapu-Lapu City.
He said after Banal’s full recovery from the recent fight, the boxer from Ermita, Cebu will be going back to training, which could possibly be held in the United States under Robert Garcia.
He also said he plans one more fight for Banal before he can get his rematch against Panamanian Rafael Concepcion, who dealt Banal his only cerreer loss.
“One more fight for him and we will give him Concepcion,” said Aldeguer. “We will be having this rematch here in Cebu because he (banal) wants it here.”
7,600 fans watched the Battle At Mactan, which is another record-setting feat for ALA Boxing promotions.
“We are really grateful in their very strong support, we love the boxing fans here in Lapu-lapu because they really support our own fighters” said ALA Boxing Promotions and Gym founder Antonio L. Aldeguer.
Saturday’s fights were attended by GAB Chairman Juan Ramon Guanzon and WBO Asia-Pacific chief Leon Panoncillo. Seen in the crowd were boxers Z Gorres, Milan Melindo and Donnie Nietes. /Correspondent Dale Rosal and Rene Bonsubre Jr.
