‘Boxing at the Park’ in Mandaue has new venue

THE regular 6 p.m. “Boxing at the Park” in Mandaue City will be held starting this Saturday at the rooftop of the newly-completed Mandaue public market located at the back of the Mandaue Sports Complex.

Organized by ALA Gym in coordination with the Mandaue City Sports Commission, the amateur boxing competition is the first activity to be held in the new public market after its recent turnover to the city government by its contractor.

“The new venue is ideal since it is located near the sea and a vantage point for scenic view,” said Atty. Hidelito Pascual, executive director of Mandaue City Sports Commission.

Meanwhile, Peter Cuizon of the ALA Gym, said the boxing tournament held twice a month has played an important role in developing world class Filipino boxers.

The activity is participated by amateur boxers under training in the gym most of whom are residents of Mandaue City.

Malcolm Tunacao, former WBC Flyweight champion and Eriberto Gejon, a world class boxer started their career in the gym.

The tournament has three categories — novice, developmental and junior.  /Mandaue News Service
