Nguyễn Văn Hải is very likely the most experienced mixed fight form exponent in Vietnam.
Hai was a highly decorated amateur in younger days, having won multiple national titles and achieving medals at the SEA Games. In spite of those successes, the revered Hanoi legend has had precious few chances to box in recent years.
Hai was intent on embarking on a pro career back in 2019, and signed with VSP to pursue that ambition. The pandemic put the brakes on those plans, and unfortunately, Hai did not see any ring time until August of this year.
Nguyễn Văn Hải ventured to Manila to take on the rangy southpaw prospect Jerald Into, and despite incurring a points loss, it was a decent display for a boxer with lots of ring rust. The Vietnam fighter certainly showed many of the trademark moves of his amateur days, but his distance, timing and punch volume were below the required level.
This legend dubbed “ the Hanoi Hitman” will look to reverse that loss, and he will be determined to teach his whiz kid Indonesian rival some veteran tricks of the trade !

This is a clip from last year in Manila, where Hai took on hot unbeaten Lightweight prospect Jerald Into.
It was the Vietnam boxer's first time to see a boxing ring in more than 2 years, but it turned out to be a quality bout.
Hai has won both follow up engagements since this match, and is now 4-1 in the pro ranks.
Vietnam's Nguyễn Văn Hải and the Philippines Romeo Tenorio take on international opponents at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino on April 22nd.
Philippines boxer Romeo Tenorio is rumoured to fight in Vietnam this month, with a bout against South Korean Gun Kim in the offing. The match will be in the 115 lb class, and will be Tenorio's first since October last year, when he beat Julias Bala by unanimous decision. Gun Kim is a fighter of promise, with a 2 win 1 loss career record.
Vietnam's most experienced fighter Nguyễn Văn Hải is set to take on China's Yongcai Liu in the Lightweight 61kg category.
The VSP Boxing star from Hanoi has won 4 bouts since turning professional, and is hoping a win against his Chinese opponent will fast track him in the rankings.
Yongcai Liu is a winner of 6 fights, but has not been active since the pandemic, so it will be interesting to see what level he is at. The Chinese boxer showed a lot of ability earlier in his career, where Top Rank sponsored him to go to America and learn with their boxers and training staff.
The match will be over 8 rounds and will be the main undercard at The Grand Ho Tram on Saturday April 22nd.
Here is Nguyễn Văn Hải's last fight at Ho Tram in December 2022, where he knocked out unbeaten Indonesian Paisal Panjaitan.
63,5kg: Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận trước Hà Minh TuấnTrận so găng thú vị giữa những tay đấm ở hai thế hệ. Nguyễn Văn Hải là tay đấm cựu trào từng vô địch quốc gia nhiều năm và giành huy chương quốc tế. Còn Hà Minh Tuấn đến từ Hanoi Boxing Academy từng giành HCB giải các CLB, HCV giải trẻ và thắng 1 trận ở sự kiện VSP Pro.Trận đấu này rất được chờ đợi nhưng thực tế trên ring Văn Hải đã nhanh chóng tỏ rõ bản lĩnh kinh nghiệm dày dạn và sức nặng cú đấm vượt trội đàn em. Một đòn đấm vòng tay phải uy lực của Văn Hải và serie đòn ngay sau đó tưởng như đã kết liễu trận đấu ngay trong hiệp 1.Cũng phải dành cho Minh Tuấn lời khen khi tay đấm trẻ từ Hà Nội đã trụ vững thêm 2 hiệp đấu dù bị đàn anh dồn ép và liên tục hứng đòn từ những cú móc, jab và body-shot như búa bổ của Văn Hải. Bước sang hiệp cuối cùng, Minh Tuấn có thêm 2 tình huống jab và đấm vòng ấn tượng, nhưng sự chênh lệch vẫn nghiêng hẳn về Văn Hải.Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận cho tay đấm 35 tuổi Văn Hải. Theo tiết lộ ở cuộc phỏng vấn sau trận, Văn Hải sẽ nỗ lực tập luyện để chuẩn bị cho 1 trận tranh đai vô địch vào cuối năm nay.
Vietnam has recently seen the emergence of some great fighters, and Nguyen Van Hai is undoubtedly one of the greatest among them. The "Hanoi Hitman" is set to grace the ring once again, this time at VSP PRO #3 in HCMC. Fans are eagerly waiting for his showdown with promising young northern boxer Ha Minh Tuan, who has already made a mark with an impressive debut win in February at VSP PRO #2.
Nguyen Van Hai is a force to be reckoned with, and his appearance at Fortunes of War in Ho Tram last December was a testament to that fact. In a dominating performance, stopping unbeaten Indonesian prospect Paisal Panjaitan.
It's not just his impressive win record that makes him stand out, but his boxing skills and style that sets him apart from the rest. He has a deadly combination of speed, agility, and power that make him a dangerous opponent for anyone who dares to face him in the ring.
His upcoming bout at VSP PRO is a testament to his dedication and hard work. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him in action once again, and with his impressive track record, it's hard not to feel excited.
Nguyen Van Hai is a true icon in the world of Vietnamese boxing, and his legacy will undoubtedly continue for many years to come.
VSP boxers Charly Suarez and Nguyễn Văn Hải are arguably the best fighters that their respective countries have ever produced.
The two are friends from their days as national team amateurs, and they even fought in an exhibition mstch at Victory8 in Hanoi in 2019.
Last night in Sydney, Charly Suarez moved a step closer to his world title dream with a knockout win over Australian Paul "Showtime" Fleming, an unbeaten star unbeaten in 28 fights.
Nguyễn Văn Hải is rapidly climbing in the professional ranks also. The "Hanoi Hitman" has 3 wins, and will be looking to add to his tally at VSP PRO on Saturday March 25th.
The Hanoi Hitman returns to the ring later this month at VSP Gym in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam.
Despite a wealth of various fight form experience, Hai is a relative newcomer to professional boxing.
He ventured to Manila in August 2022, and showed lots of ring rust when outpointed by the very promising and unbeaten Jerald Into.
But the granite featured Hanoi boxer made amends at his next bout in emphatic fashion - a stoppage victory over Indonesian prospect Paisal Panjaitan. Nguyễn Văn Hải dropped his opponent in the first, before finishing his task with power shots in round 3.
Nguyễn Văn Hải will be appearing at "VSP PRO" on Saturday March 25th at VSP Gym in District 1 HCMC.

Hanoi strong man Nguyễn Văn Hải made an impressive return to the professional arena, stunning unbeaten Indonesian Paisal Panjaitan with a stoppage victory.
The bout began quite evenly, with the visitor boxing carefully, and even dictating ring position, but then BOOM!
The Indonesian fighter began to launch heavy shots at Nguyễn Văn Hải, and found himself side on to his Vietnam nemesis. Quick to sieze the moment, Hải unleashed a perfect left hook to surprise the chin of Panjaitan.
It was a superb performance from Nguyễn Văn Hải against a confident and unbeaten opponent. His distance and timing were a big improvement on his loss in Manila, which was also against an unbeaten prospect named Jerald Into.
The Hanoi champion advances to 3 wins and 1 loss, and appears a potential professional star for Vietnam boxing.

NEWS FROM WEBTHETHAO
Professional boxing events in Vietnam began to rekindle in the period of 2015, when management units such as Vietnam Boxing Federation (VBF) or Ho Chi Minh City Boxing Federation. Ho Chi Minh City (HBF) organizes this form of competition, with the participation of famous boxers in the domestic amateur boxing village. After that, promotion companies began to appear with names like VSP Promotions, Cocky Buffalo, Saigon Sports Club, VBC, Trigger Boxing... continued to appear to bring more national elements. economic: events, title matches, friendlies.
However, it was not until 2018, when the promoters really embarked on a comprehensive approach, at this time, the challenge for the development of professional boxing began to really appear.
To be recognized at the professional level, competitions must be under the supervision of organizations capable of recognizing professional achievements around the world. This supervision is based on the rules - the rules of the game (regulations) are specified in the operating regulations of professional organizations such as WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF...
In Vietnam, the presence of these organizations is not much. Therefore, boxers have only one option: to conduct tours in countries with developed boxing backgrounds such as Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, ... to be recognized for their achievements. However, the issue of funding, training procedures - competing with Vietnamese boxers is not a simple problem, despite the participation of experienced promotion companies in the region.
As a result, promoters have opted for a more pragmatic approach: organizing events right in Vietnam. To do this, they need to contact to get the approval of professional organizations in the world, through sending professional teams, supervising the organization and competition of martial arts.
Since 2019, units like VSP Promotions have made their mark with a series of events such as Victory 8, VSP Pro,... bringing Vietnamese boxers to participate in professional matches at home, recognizing their achievements. in the international system, gradually removing barriers for boxers who want to pursue this path.
From professional events, title fights began to appear. Victory 8: Legend of Hoan Kiem with the title of WBA East Asia; events of IBF, WBO at The Grand Ho Tram Strip with champions Dinh Hong Quan, Song Chan Ho... and here comes Fortunes of War with 3 matches for WBO - IBF title in weight classes on 10th December.
Not only for boxers, bringing international events to Vietnam also creates opportunities for domestic professionals, namely management units, referees, supervisors, etc. exposure to professional environment according to world standards. From there, events in Vietnam will gradually move to international level - something we all want in the development of all sports.
Following the success of two title events in April and July, Fortunes of War witnessed the title defense of the IBF Asian champion - "Black Hawk" Dinh Hong Quan in his 11th fight. The fighter born in 1998 will face the boxer from the Philippines - "Silent Assassin" Arnel Baconaje.
In addition to the defense of the IBF Asian lightweight title between Dinh Hong Quan and Arnel Baconjae, Charly Suarez - a three-time SEA Games gold medalist and silver medalist at ASIAD 2014 will welcome an opponent from Indonesia - Defry Palulu for the IBF title. Asian super-featherweight.
Previously, WBO Oriental champion from Korea - Song Chan Ho will face Thai boxer Anusong Thonglueang in his title defense match. The competition took place over 10 rounds in the super-lightweight division.
In addition to the three matches/defending of the IBF and WBO belts, Fortunes Of War also witnessed the return of Vietnamese boxing monument Nguyen Van Hai, promising fighters Le Hoang Hiep, Thai Hoang Huy or Pham Minh Quan before the competition. boxers from Indonesia and the Philippines.
List of matches at Fortunes of War on December 10:

It was a creditable performance, yet short of the Hanoi hard man's best work, and you can be asdured we will see a vastly improved fighter next month in Ho Tram.
"My fight in Manila was fun, but it taught me important lessons. Indonesia’s man is a very good young boxer, so this time, I must play it very hard to try for victory. Very excited!" commented the Hanoi Hitman.

Saturday December 10
Hanoi boxer Nguyễn Văn Hải competed in his first match in almost 3 years this past August. In what was viewed as a welcome back contest in Manila for Hai, he came away with a points loss, and a bagful of "what if" scenarios on his performance. The end result was a steely resolve to make amends for that defeat as soon as possible.
Nguyễn Văn Hải is very likely the most experienced mixed fight form exponent in Vietnam, and he returns to his love for boxing on December 10 at the Fortunes of War show in Ho Tram.
Hai was a highly decorated amateur in younger days, having won multiple national titles and achieving medals at the SEA Games. In spite of those successes, the revered Hanoi legend has had precious few chances to box in recent years.
Hai was intent on embarking on a pro career back in 2019, and signed with VSP to pursue that ambition. The pandemic put the brakes on those plans, and unfortunately, Hai did not see any ring time until August of this year.
Nguyễn Văn Hải ventured to Manila to take on rangy southpaw prospect Jerald Into, and despite incurring a points loss, it was a decent display for a boxer with lots of ring rust. The Vietnam fighter certainly showed many of the trademark moves of his amateur days, but his distance, timing and punch volume were below the required level. But he actually looked very good, and it will no doubt be a vastly improved, and perhaps vengeful, boxer that returns to the ring at The Grand Ho Tram on December 10.
This boxer dubbed "the Hanoi Hitman" will look to reverse that loss in Manila, and he will be determined to teach his whiz kid Indonesian rival some veteran tricks of the trade !

Nguyễn Văn Hải ventured to Manila to take on rangy southpaw prospect Jerald Into, and despite a points loss, it was a decent display for a boxer with lots of ring rust.
The boxer dubbed the Hanoi Hitman will look to build on that loss, and will be joined at The Grand Ho Tram by four other Vietnam fighters.
Dinh Hong Quân will contest the main event, while novice prospects Pham Minh Quân, Le Hoang Hiep and Thai Hoang Huy will take on top class Philippines boxers in the undercard bouts.
Indonesia’s Paisal Panjaitan creates an exquisite and intriguing match up with Vietnam's Nguyễn Văn Hải. At face value, their fight stats are remarkably similar, and both like to box out of the orthodox stance. But that's where the similarity ends.
Nguyễn Văn Hải has been immersed in "fighting" for more than 20 years, and has been a high level amateur. In contrast, Paisal Panjaitan has been boxing for less than 5 years, and is clearly still learning the trade. That said, it's transparent that he has improved markedly with each performance, and his energy levels will obviously prove a challenge to his Vietnam opponent. Panjaitan is tough too!
Unbeaten in 3 fights, he absorbed punishment yet won each contest convincingly.
This Vietnam v Indonesia match up will be over 4 rounds, so expect to see fireworks in this one, as both these talented fighters will be looking to impose their will.
Really looking forward to this one !

ANNIHILATION UKC will play host to some visiting international boxers, but perhaps none more intriguing than Vietnam legend Nguyen Van Hai !
Despite not having seen the inside of a boxing ring since 2020, Hai is a master of various fight forms, and has the skills and experience to make the biggest tasks seem simple! His eagerness to compete in Manila was hugely obvious, so much so he did not even ask about the opponent or weight class when invited to fight!
The Hanoi based athlete is renowned for his strength and defensive skills, and though he has extensive amateur experience, has only two pro fights on his resume. He was successful in both bouts, with one ending in stoppage.
Jerald Into is an exciting young southpaw with nice balance and ring savvy. He has an excellent jab that he delivers with variety, and is extremely patient in setting up his shots which is great to see.
And the boy's got POWER!
Jerald Into has won all 4 bouts to date, and done so with conviction, all opponents dispatched by ominous KO !
This has all the makings of the "fight of the day" - we have all the question marks hanging over the ring return of an almost mythical action figure in Nguyen Van Hai, countered by the rapidly developing but already dangerous Jerald Into.

FORMER Olympian Charly Suarez returns to the ring on Aug. 7 to defend his World Boxing Association (WBA) Asia super featherweight belt against what should be one of his toughest opponent to date, veteran Marjohn Yap, in the main event of UKC Tiger - “Annihilation” at the Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Center in Parañaque City.
The 33-year-old Suarez hopes to get a world ranking and an impressive win over an experienced former regional champion like Yap could boost him up the super-featherweight ladder.
Suarez started the year 2022 with a 12th-round technical knockout of prospect Tomjune Mangubat to win the vacant WBA Asia super-featherweight strap in Parañaque City last March. He followed it up with a unanimous decision win over tough Junny Salogaol last June 10 in Bohol.
Yap, on the other hand, is on a three-fight slump, fighting in the US and Dubai.
The 33-year-old Yap lost to one-time world title challenger Angelo Leo, undefeated American up-and-comer Angel Alejandro and unbeaten Cuban prospect Jadier Herrera.
Before his short campaign in the US, Yap had an impressive seven-year stint in Japan, where he won the Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) bantamweight belt and went 12-5. He won against the likes of former interim WBA minimumweight champion Juan Jose Landaeta and three-time world title challenger Hiroyuki Kudaka.
Suarez is 11-0 with seven knockouts, while Yap is 30-16 with 15 knockouts.
Also featured in the same card are two World Boxing Foundation (WBF) regional bouts.
Clyde Azarcon (17-4-1, 6 KOs) fights against battle-scarred veteran Lito Dante (18-11-4, 10 KOs) for the vacant WBF International minimumweight strap, while Allan Villanueva (11-2, 8 KOs) slugs it out with Al Toyogon (12-6-1, 8 KOs) for the vacant WBF Asia Pacific lightweight belt.
Also booked in the undercard is Vietnamese Van Hai Nguyen (2-0, 1 KO) taking on fellow unbeaten prospect Jerald Into (4-0, 4 KOs).

One of the most interesting bouts at ANNIHILATION UKC will feature the appearance of Vietnam's Nguyen Van Hai.
Hai is regarded as the most experienced "multiple forms" fighter in Vietnam, whether it be with gloves, kicks or sticks!
Despite not having competed as a boxer in a long time, Hai has the muscle memory to fight any size, and at any time. The 59kg fighter was listed to fight Jino Rodrigo at 64kg as recently as March, but was unable to fulfill due to planes not flying.
This time around, he is pitched against the very promising and unbeaten southpaw Jerald Into at 61kg, a fighter that achieved 4 KO in his wins thus far. Into obviously has power, but impressively, sets everything up with a nice jab and is very clever at precise shot selection.
Nguyen Van Hai is well known in Vietnam for sparring westerners literally 30kg heavier than himself, so its fair to presume that nothing daunts this man, and his clash with Into will be one of the highlight bouts on Sunday August 7th.
Annihilation UKC is assembling an all star cast for Sunday August 7th!
We are going for an international flavour and have already secured Michael Pengue (Australia), Linn Sandstrom (Sweden) and the iconic Nguyễn Văn Hải (Vietnam) to come to Manila and mix it up with the Philippines fighters.
The biggest news is that Charly Suarez will defend his WBA belt, and we are very close to terms with a foreign opponent that claims he will halt the world title aspirations of the local star.
We say - bring it on!
This will be a MUST NOT MISS event, big news breaking soon on the full fight card!
This was a classic match up, held at the iconic Hoan Kiem Lake in the Vietnam capital of Hanoi.
This fight attracted a crowd of 25,000 people, and a television audience of millions.
Expect to see another big Victory8 event make its long awaited return in HCMC later this year.
Nguyen Van Hai was pulled from his TIGER 2022 bout with mad dog Jino Rodrigo. At the time, it was expected that he undertake 10 days quarantine. Too long! Philippines' loss is Vietnam's gain, and the Hanoi fighter returns to the ring March 26 in HCMC. The comeback marks more than two years since Nguyen Van Hai and Charly Suarez locked horns at Hoan Kiem Lake back in October 2019.

Fight card announcement coming soon!
The too hard to tame, the very wild and unruly Jino Rodrigo, was left seething after the cancellation of his fight with Jhack "the Fat" Tepora. Rodrigo looked ripped and ready for a war with Tepora, only for the match to be lost on the scales.
The man known as the "Silent Beast" put in a great show when he visited Vietnam in early 2019, and has been keen to trade shots with a Vietnam fighter ever since.
Jino Rodrigo gets his new year's wish come true on March 5th, when he takes on the Hanoi hardman Nguyen Van Hai. The Viet is a legend in his country, and loves to fight. So much so, that he jumped at the opportunity to rise in weight class to tackle the bigger Rodrigo. And he is a Rodrigo fan! After seeing Jino fight in Vietnam, his comments were " Very good! Lots of action! I like!"
Jino Rodrigo looked awesome in recent sparring with Philippines #1 Joe Noynay, and that preparation is now in the bottle for March 5th. True to his name, we won't hear big words from Rodrigo, but you can be sure that the Silent Beast will uncork that bottle for the Vietnam fighter Nguyen Van Hai when he steps into the ring in Manila in 2022!
So, you are watching a boxing match and it is clear that Boxer A is getting his faced punched in by the Boxer B. After many rounds, the final bell rings and you are 100% certain that the Boxer B had won the fight but suddenly judges award the win to the Boxer A and you are left thinking "what just happened?". This post will shed some light as to how this could easily happen.
At VSP, we have our own boxing gym (VSP Boxing) where boxers under company management are trained for professional matches. We also have our own boxing promotions company (VSP Promotions). We even have our own boxing event brand called Victory8. What I am about to tell you is something which happens behind the curtains that may help you understand why some boxing matches end up favoring a boxer who you are quite sure lost the match.
To fully understand what happens, you need to put yourself in the shoe of the Boxer and his/her manager. the manager generally thinks that if the boxer has an "unbeaten" record, it will help him go up the rank. This achieves two objectives. It can lead to the manager asking more money for the boxer to fight from the promoter. Secondly, the manager is hoping that a streak of victorious matches will allow the boxer to fight for the championship title which can be quite lucrative. Depending on the country/region, a regional championship title can earn 5~10,000 USD while world title can be anywhere from 50,000~1,000,000 dollars earning per fight depending on many factors which I will post another time. So, if you are the manager for the boxer, you would think your job is to try to get the boxer to fight an opponent whom you are quite confident can be beaten. (This often leads to a terrible quality fight because it is lopsided match).
Promoter (that's us) is the company that organizes and pays for everything and everyone. Here, "everyone" includes the boxers, referees, and the judges. Now, what happens when boxers are managed by a company instead of an individual? And what if that company happens to also be the "Promoter" of an event in which those boxers fight?
Let's think about a situation whereVSP has organized a boxing event in Vietnam between our Vietnamese fighters and Thai fighters. To make the scoring "fair", VSP flies in referees & judges (R&J) from Japan, China, and the Philippines. The promoter would be paying for their flight tickets, their fees, hotel, meals, as well as transportation. Lobbying can start even before the R&J arrive in Vietnam.
How about this: The promoter upgrades the flights of R&J to a business class and personally picks them up from the airport. The promoter then put them in a nice hotel with complementary drinks and takes them out to good restaurants. There, he talks about how wonderful some of the boxers are in the event (our boxers of course). The promoter never once said who the judges should vote for but as you can see, the R&J may have started to develop a certain bias.
Did you know that R&J are often part time jobs for many? Imagine you are one of the judges invited to come to Vietnam. You are treated very well, paid well, and even taken around by the promoter for shopping. You know that some of the boxers in the event are managed by the promoter. Now, let's say the fight was a close fight, who would you favor? If you voted against the promoter's boxer, maybe you won't be invited in the next event. Perhaps your professionalism would be so solid that none of these treatments would affect your judgement but would you be able to say the same for all of your peers?
At VSP, we don't believe in setting up our boxers to win in a match. How would a boxer improve if he is fighting an opponent worse than him all the time? We think this is a remanent of the old ways. Instead, we match our fighters such that the spectators would enjoy watching! What is the point of putting up boring shit fights that nobody wants to watch? We tell all our boxers, "It is not our job to make you win. It is our job to give you worthy challengers that will push yourself to be better" The boxing world need to change and embrace a new paradigm where the focus should be putting up fights that are 50:50 and that leads to exciting fights that viewers can appreciate and thus drive more following.
Let's change the old ways and make Boxing Great Again!
Vietnam's Nguyen Van Hai makes a dream come true for the rugged and too hard to tame pinoy Jino Rodrigo, who makes this special request:
"I WANT A VIETNAM FIGHTER!"
The King's Warrior Charly Suarez does more of the "Walk the Walk" when he tackles the outstanding Roldan Aldea for the WBA Asia title. Suarez has been on a rampaging path up the world rankings, and the non believers are becoming quieter and quieter! Be in zero doubt, SUAREZ is the Philippines BEST FIGHTER, so don't miss the chance to see an icon of the sport this March in Manila.
Vietnamese lightweight Nguyen Van Hai (2-0, 1 KO) has been challenged to fight dangerous Pinoy “The Silent Beast” Jino Rodrigo of Antipolo, Rizal in March; and the tough challenge has been accepted, said VSP Boxing Promotions earlier today.
The fight will fire up the ring as part of an exciting event in March in Manila, headlined by unbeaten hard-hitting Davaeño super featherweight “King’s Warrior” Charly Suarez (9-0, 6 KO’s). The Vietnamese 135-pounder Nguyen Van Hai has long been regarded as a excellent, experienced amateur fighter, although he hasn’t seen any action at all in 30 long months. Still, Hai has kept himself running, working out, sparring, and profusely sweating every day in the gym, with the mind set of “never giving up.”
As an amateur boxer, Nguyen Van Hai won the Vietnam national championships, and claimed medals in Asian Games in various weight-classes. But due to limited opportunities to battle as a pro, Nguyen Van Hai hasn’t fought much, currently being unbeaten in just 2 fights one of them he won by KO. That’s why, Nguyen Van Hai signed with VSP Boxing Promotions last year, in an attempt to kick off his pro boxing career, searching for a brighter future for his family.

Watch out Florida - 14 wins and 14 knockouts
Weljon Mindoro is not coming to just knock on doors !!!
Someone is going to sleep - guaranteed !
Fighters looked in excellent condition, but the taller Potes weighed in heavy.
Weljon Mindoro (Philippines) weighs in at 162.2 lbs.
Dormedes Pontes (Colombia) weighs in at 169.4 lbs, missing the 162 lb weight limit.
Despite missing weight, the fight will proceed, with Pontes paying a penalty fee from his purse.
Fight Preview – Friday, August 15, 2025
ProBox TV Events Center, Plant City, Florida
This Friday night, the ProBox TV Events Center will host a classic crossroads bout in the middleweight division, as unbeaten Filipino knockout artist Weljon “Triggerman” Mindoro (14-0-1, 14 KOs) takes on battle-tested Colombian southpaw Dormedes Potes (14-7-1, 10 KOs).
Mindoro, 25, enters the ring with a perfect stoppage record—every victory coming by knockout.
Standing 5’11” with a 72-inch reach, the Bacoor, Cavite native has quickly built a reputation as one of Asia’s most dangerous punchers.
Ranked #48 in the world and the #1 middleweight in the Philippines, the “Triggerman” combines explosive power with a patient, punishing style that wears opponents down before closing the show.
Across from him will be the seasoned Dormedes Potes, a 12-year professional with 22 fights and 110 career rounds.
The Barranquilla-born southpaw has shared the ring with a mix of domestic and international opposition, and while he’s been inactive in recent months, his experience, toughness, and unorthodox stance could present Mindoro with his stiffest stylistic test to date.
That said, keep the smelling salts handy !!
born in 1999, from Tuyên Quang — and a contestant in Miss Grand Vietnam 2025.
But please don't stereotype this girl of multiple talents - she is a former member of Vietnam’s National Boxing Team, and possesses a medal collection that’s far from ordinary
Bronze – National Championship 2017 (Boxing)
Silver – Youth Championships in Thailand 2017 (Boxing)
Bronze – National Junior Championships 2016 (Boxing)
In her Miss Grand Vietnam 2025 application, she shared:
“At 12 years old, I had the opportunity to train and compete for Vietnam’s National Boxing Team. I’ve fought in tournaments from local to international. After retiring, I pursued my passion for fitness. I started as an athlete — a girl who wore sneakers far more often than high heels.”
“People often teased me for looking too masculine. Honestly, I felt the same about myself. Signing up for Miss Grand Vietnam 2025 isn’t just an opportunity — it’s a big challenge for me: to become more feminine, while keeping the strong sports spirit that defines me as an athlete.”
Which just goes to show :
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A BOXER !!
Open auditions in Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday night for novice boxers looking to make their professional debuts.

Elorde boxer Ben Ligas weighed in this morning for his 118lb Bantamweight clash with Keita Nakayama tomorrow in Japan.
The Manila based fighter known as "The Sniper" found a lot of success as a Flyweight boxer, and was RP Champ for an extended time.
But the heavier weight classes were always his destiny, and he will test his mettle against an extremely tall opponent in the former standout amateur Nakayama at Bantamweight.
The Osaka local looked ominous at his pro debut, taking out Korean Ji Yong Kim in the very first round.
Philippines hope Ben Ligas will enter the ring sporting a 17 win 5 loss resume.
Great fight - best of luck to both fighters.
Manila is preparing to host one of the biggest boxing events of the year as the Philippines celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic "Thrilla in Manila"—the legendary 1975 clash between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.
Spearheading the event is Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, who is curating a blockbuster card featuring three world title fights, in a night that promises to echo the glory of that historic bout
Three Filipino Stars on the World Stage
In a show of national pride and world-class talent, the event will showcase the Philippines’ top boxing champions:
Melvin Jerusalem, reigning WBC strawweight world champion,
Pedro Taduran, IBF minimumweight titleholder, and
Mark “Magnifico” Magsayo, a rising star in the super-featherweight ranks.
Fresh off his impressive July 19th victory over Mexico’s Jorge Mata in Las Vegas, Magsayo is primed for a world title shot. If a championship bout isn’t secured in time, he will still feature in a world title eliminator, keeping his path to the belt in clear view.
Jerusalem, meanwhile, delivered a clinical win against Yudai Shigeoka in Nagoya earlier this year, and Taduran successfully defended his title in May with a super dominant performance over Ginjiro Shigeoka in Osaka.
The official date of the event is still under discussion, with major stakeholders coordinating logistics to ensure a seamless production. However, anticipation is already building as the country prepares to mark the golden jubilee of one of boxing’s greatest nights.
“This is a milestone for Philippine boxing and global sports history,” said Pacquiao, who has assembled a world-class team to deliver a show befitting the occasion. “We’re doing everything to make sure this celebration is truly unforgettable.”
A Week of Boxing History and Global Guests
Beyond the fight card, the event will serve as a week-long celebration of boxing history, with plans to fly in international luminaries such as Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum and legendary Filipino referee Carlos Padilla.
Efforts are also being made to involve the children of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, adding a deeply personal and symbolic layer to the festivities.
The World Boxing Council (WBC) has confirmed its major involvement, with current president Mauricio Sulaiman expected to play a prominent role.
Pacquiao has appointed Sean Gibbons to oversee international coordination, while Joe Ramos will lead domestic preparations.
With world titles on the line, legends in attendance, and a legacy to honor, Manila’s 50th anniversary tribute to the Thrilla is shaping up to be a truly once-in-a-generation event.

Nguyễn Văn Hải — Vietnam’s #1 pound-for-pound fighter and boxing icon was set to make history in a blockbuster IBF title clash with Australian #1 Ibrahim Balla.
But in a frustrating twist, the highly anticipated showdown has been canceled due to visa issues.
Still, don’t count out the Hanoi Hitman.
The 37 years "young" boxer remains laser-focused and in peak condition, optimistic his Hanoi training camp will have not been for nothing.
With a pro record of 7 wins and 3 loss, some may question the credentials. But on closer inspection it's worth noting that the losses were suffered by way of points and in a higher weight class.
They were also incurred in battles against unbeaten world ranked opponents - two of which were title fights.
The good news for Vietnamese fans is that Hải is now in advanced talks for another international championship opportunity — as early as this coming August.
Whether it's in Australia, Japan, or America — I’m ready to represent Vietnam on the world stage." – Nguyễn Văn Hải
Hải isn’t just fighting for titles — he’s fighting to put Vietnam on the global boxing map.
Stay tuned. Big news is coming !!

Một khởi đầu tuyệt vời cho sự trở lại của boxing tại Sài Gòn, diễn ra tối qua tại phòng tập Trigger Gym.
Sự kiện được tổ chức bởi đội ngũ Trigger và nhận được sự hỗ trợ từ Liên đoàn Boxing TP.HCM (HBF).
HBF đang nỗ lực hết mình để đưa TP.HCM trở thành trung tâm số 1 của boxing chuyên nghiệp, đồng thời khuyến khích các phòng tập khác trong thành phố cùng tham gia vào làn sóng phát triển mạnh mẽ này.
Tôi sẽ có buổi gặp với HBF vào cuối tháng này để thảo luận về việc phát triển các sự kiện cần thiết này, đồng thời cùng ông Lim Song từ VBO bàn về khả năng tổ chức các sự kiện chuyên nghiệp quy mô, nơi các võ sĩ của chúng ta có thể ghi dấu trong hệ thống dữ liệu quốc tế của BoxRec.
Xin chúc mừng đội ngũ Trigger cùng ông Nguyễn Vinh Nghị và HBF vì những nỗ lực đáng ghi nhận này.

Việt Nam Đề Xuất Đăng Cai Hội Nghị Liên Đoàn Quyền Anh Quốc Tế (IBF) Năm 2026
Bước Tiến Lớn Cho Quyền Anh Việt Nam Và Phát Triển Thể Thao Quốc Gia
Việt Nam đang từng bước khẳng định vị thế là một quốc gia có ảnh hưởng trong làng quyền anh chuyên nghiệp toàn cầu, với đề xuất đầy tham vọng đăng cai Hội nghị IBF năm 2026. Hồ sơ đăng cai chính thức đã được Tiến sĩ Lim Song, Chủ tịch Vietnam Boxing Organization (VBO), trình bày tại Hội nghị IBF lần thứ 40 diễn ra ngày 3 tháng 6 năm 2025 tại Atlantic City, Hoa Kỳ.
Hội nghị IBF là một trong những sự kiện thường niên danh giá nhất của quyền anh chuyên nghiệp, thu hút từ 300 đến 400 đại biểu từ khắp nơi trên thế giới, bao gồm các quan chức liên đoàn, nhà tổ chức, quản lý, võ sĩ, đài truyền hình và các đại diện truyền thông.
Việc đăng cai một sự kiện có tầm vóc như vậy sẽ là cột mốc lịch sử trong sự phát triển thể thao và kinh tế của Việt Nam.
“Việt Nam đã sẵn sàng đón nhận tương lai của quyền anh,” Tiến sĩ Lim Song chia sẻ.
“Việc đăng cai Hội nghị IBF không chỉ nâng tầm hình ảnh của quyền anh Việt Nam mà còn thúc đẩy hợp tác quốc tế, du lịch và niềm tự hào dân tộc.”
NÂNG TẦM QUYỀN ANH VIỆT NAM
Quyền anh chuyên nghiệp ngày càng nhận được sự quan tâm của công chúng tại Việt Nam, và việc quốc gia này chính thức gia nhập IBF thể hiện cam kết xây dựng một hệ sinh thái quyền anh đẳng cấp và bền vững.
Việc tổ chức hội nghị sẽ mang lại:
Cơ hội giao lưu quốc tế và kết nối cho các võ sĩ, huấn luyện viên và quan chức Việt Nam.
Các buổi hội thảo, chương trình cấp chứng chỉ và đào tạo nâng cao trình độ chuyên môn cho nhân lực ngành quyền anh trong nước.
Định vị Việt Nam là ứng viên sáng giá để đăng cai các trận tranh đai vô địch thế giới và sự kiện lớn trong tương lai.
LỢI ÍCH KINH TẾ VÀ DU LỊCH
Hội nghị IBF hứa hẹn mang lại tác động kinh tế đáng kể thông qua:
Lượng lớn du khách quốc tế, tạo nhu cầu cao cho khách sạn, nhà hàng, giao thông và các điểm tham quan địa phương.
Tạo công ăn việc làm trong các lĩnh vực như dịch vụ lưu trú, tổ chức sự kiện, hậu cần và sản xuất truyền thông.
Quảng bá hình ảnh Việt Nam hiện đại, năng động và thân thiện đến toàn thế giới qua các kênh truyền thông quốc tế.
SỨC MẠNH MỀM VÀ GIAO LƯU VĂN HÓA
Ngoài thể thao, hội nghị còn là nền tảng hiệu quả cho:
Tăng cường quan hệ ngoại giao với các liên đoàn thể thao và quốc gia thành viên.
Quảng bá văn hóa, ẩm thực và bản sắc dân tộc Việt Nam ra thế giới.
Gây dựng niềm tự hào dân tộc và sự đoàn kết thông qua việc tổ chức thành công một sự kiện tầm cỡ quốc tế.
HƯỚNG TỚI TƯƠNG LAI
Đề xuất đăng cai Hội nghị IBF 2026 phản ánh chiến lược tổng thể của Việt Nam trong việc sử dụng thể thao như một công cụ thúc đẩy kinh tế, ngoại giao văn hóa và thu hút giới trẻ. Với sự ủng hộ từ chính phủ, sự quan tâm ngày càng lớn của người dân và các mối quan hệ đối tác quốc tế, Việt Nam đã sẵn sàng tự tin bước lên sân khấu quyền anh chuyên nghiệp thế giới.
Xin chúc mừng Tiến sĩ Lim Song và VBO vì đã mở rộng quan hệ quốc tế thay mặt cho các võ sĩ đầy tiềm năng của Việt Nam.
On June 3rd, VBO President Dr. Lim Song attended 40th IBF Convention in Atlantic city, USA. There, Dr. Song made a formal proposal to host 2026 IBF Convention in Vietnam.
The global convention bring together 300~400 experts in the professional boxing industry across the world.
Hosting a Global Convention for the International Boxing Federation (IBF) in Vietnam would offer a multitude of benefits, not just for the boxing community but for the country as a whole.
1. Elevating Vietnam's Boxing Profile:
Global Recognition: Hosting a major IBF event would significantly raise Vietnam's standing in the international boxing world. It would put the country on the map as a serious contender for future top-tier boxing events and potentially world title fights.
Showcasing Local Talent: It would provide an unparalleled platform for Vietnamese boxers, coaches, and officials to interact with global leaders, learn best practices, and gain exposure. This could accelerate the development of local boxing talent and potentially lead to more Vietnamese champions on the world stage.
Professional Development: The convention would likely include seminars, training courses, and certification programs for referees, judges, and coaches, significantly improving the quality and professionalism of Vietnamese boxing personnel.
2. Development of the "Sports Economy":
Tourism Boost: A global convention attracts a significant number of international delegates, including IBF officials, promoters, managers, boxers, media, and fans. This influx of visitors would lead to increased spending on hotels, restaurants, transportation, shopping, and local attractions, generating substantial revenue for the local economy.
Job Creation: The event would create temporary jobs in hospitality, event management, security, transportation, and other related sectors.
Media Exposure: Global media coverage of the convention and any associated boxing events would provide invaluable promotion for Vietnam as a tourist destination and a vibrant, modern country, enhancing its international image.
Hosting an IBF convention could stimulate the commercialization of boxing in Vietnam, encouraging more sponsorships, broadcasting deals, and the growth of a professional boxing ecosystem.
3. Soft Power and International Relations:
Diplomatic Engagement: Hosting such an event fosters stronger relationships with international sports organizations and participating countries, enhancing Vietnam's "soft power" on the global stage.
Cultural Exchange: It provides an opportunity to showcase Vietnamese culture, hospitality, and unique heritage to a diverse international audience. Delegates would experience local customs, cuisine, and traditions, leaving with positive impressions.
National Pride: Successfully hosting a prestigious global event instills a sense of national pride and unity among the Vietnamese people.
So, what do you think about Vietnam hosting IBF Convention in 2026?

Các bạn thân mến – có rất nhiều bình luận xoay quanh trận đấu vừa qua của Trần Văn Thảo tại Tokyo. Nhiều ý kiến mang tính động viên, nhưng cũng không ít những lời chỉ trích khá gay gắt.
Ai cũng có quyền tự do bày tỏ quan điểm.
Nhưng để cân bằng lại những quan điểm đó, tôi muốn chia sẻ với các bạn một góc nhìn có thêm bối cảnh và chuyên môn.
Trong bài viết trước, tôi không chỉ nói Nhật Bản giỏi boxing – tôi nói họ LÀ GIỎI NHẤT!
Nghe có vẻ phóng đại? Vậy hãy đọc tiếp.
Nhật Bản hiện đang sở hữu 5 võ sĩ hàng đầu thế giới ở hạng cân của Trần Văn Thảo, và 8 người trong top 10.
Điều này là cực kỳ hiếm thấy!
Không một quốc gia nào khác thống trị một hạng cân danh giá như vậy – kể cả Hoa Kỳ!
Và đừng quên, Nhật Bản còn có "quái vật" Naoya Inoue, người được xem là võ sĩ hay nhất thế giới hiện nay.
Trần Văn Thảo vừa thượng đài với một tay đấm được dự đoán sẽ là ngôi sao tương lai của Nhật Bản ở hạng Bantamweight – và điều đó hoàn toàn hợp lý vì anh ta từng là vô địch thế giới nghiệp dư.
Đây là một đối thủ rất nghiêm túc – không phải “tay mơ” nào cả.
Tôi đã tham gia boxing quốc tế nhiều năm, và không bao giờ dùng từ “huyền thoại” hay “người hùng” một cách tùy tiện.
Nên hãy hiểu rõ ngữ cảnh sau đây.
Trần Văn Thảo đến từ một đất nước chưa có nền boxing chuyên nghiệp phát triển.
Việc thi đấu thường xuyên và tập luyện với đối thủ đẳng cấp cao là điều gần như không thể tại Việt Nam lúc này.
Đây là bất lợi rất lớn cho các võ sĩ tài năng của chúng ta.
Dù vậy, Thảo vẫn đạt được xếp hạng thế giới, và trở thành võ sĩ Việt Nam đầu tiên được mời thi đấu trên sân khấu lớn nhất thế giới, đối đầu với một đối thủ đẳng cấp cao.
Không những thế, anh còn là trận đấu chính trong loạt trận phụ trước trận tranh đai vô địch thế giới.
ĐÂY LÀ CỘT MỐC LỊCH SỬ CỦA BOXING CHUYÊN NGHIỆP VIỆT NAM!!
Đây là dấu ấn đặc biệt – và Trần Văn Thảo xứng đáng được xem là một người hùng.
TRẬN ĐẤU THÌ SAO?
Vâng – tất cả chúng ta đều xem rồi.
Nhưng điều đáng nể hơn là: Chính Thảo đã can đảm bước vào và chiến đấu.
Thua là xác suất 50% của mọi trận đấu, nhưng Thảo đã cho cả thế giới thấy rằng võ sĩ Việt Nam KHÔNG BAO GIỜ GỤC NGÃ!
Không bỏ cuộc – và phẩm chất đó là điều rất hiếm ở con người. Màn thể hiện của Thảo là nguồn cảm hứng lớn.
Đối thủ trước đó của Tomoya Tsuboi có thành tích 14 thắng – 2 thua, nhưng bị hạ KO chỉ trong 2 hiệp.
Những bài học sau thất bại rất giá trị với mọi võ sĩ – và chính điều đó sẽ giúp Thảo phát triển mạnh mẽ hơn rất nhiều, đặc biệt nếu anh có cơ hội trở lại sàn đấu thế giới.
Giờ đây, Thảo hiểu rõ trình độ cần thiết để thi đấu ở đỉnh cao, thậm chí còn rõ hơn bất kỳ ai trong chúng ta ngồi xem ở nhà.
Tôi là người làm nghề tổ chức, và nếu tôi là promoter phía Nhật, tôi chắc chắn sẽ mời Thảo quay lại lần nữa!
Tinh thần chiến đấu và sự bền bỉ của anh ấy đã nâng tầm thương hiệu boxing Việt Nam trên trường quốc tế – và đó là một thành tựu không thể phủ nhận.
Có bài học rút ra không?
Tất nhiên – là rất nhiều!
Hãy chờ đợi sự trở lại của đại sứ boxing chuyên nghiệp Việt Nam – khỏe hơn, nhanh hơn và thông minh hơn bao giờ hết!
VIỆT NAM 🇻🇳 – VỮNG BƯỚC TIẾN LÊN!
Nguyễn Hải Đăng, võ sĩ 19 tuổi đến từ Việt Nam, sẽ có trận chuyên nghiệp đầu tiên vào tối thứ Bảy này tại Melbourne, Úc.
Nhưng có một vấn đề nhỏ...
Em chưa có quần thi đấu chuyên nghiệp để bước lên võ đài chiến thắng 🤔
✅ ĐÃ GIẢI QUYẾT XONG !!
Một lời cảm ơn đặc biệt gửi đến Huỳnh Hồng Ngọc đã lo liệu mọi thứ cho em trong thời gian cực kỳ gấp rút!
🔥 Chiến hết mình với võ sĩ Úc nhé Đăng!
CHO NÓ BIẾT "ĐỊA NGỤC" LÀ GÌ 😈
VIỆT NAM CỐ LÊN 🇻🇳
