Richard "the Beast" Pumicpic looks to ramp things up this coming March, after a quiet but successful 2021. Pumicpic stopped excellent local fighter Landy Cris Leon in May, and Leon subsequently had a win over Jhunriel Ramonal, consolidating the merit of the victory. The Beast then travelled to the United States, and incurred a narrow loss at the hands of world top 20 Abraham Nova. Pumicpic had the hotshot Nova wobbled at various stages of the match, and no doubt this was a bout within the pinoy's grasp had it been taken on greater notice.
Richard Pumicpic is one of the best credentialed, blue riband fighters in the Philippines. He is capable of giving any fighter in the world a nightmare fight, so it is a great privilege to see him compete on home soil again. Richard the BEAST Pumicpic returns revamped in March 2022 and makes this simple pledge :
"YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET! "
Philippines veteran champion Richard Pumicpic was tagged with the moniker "The Beast" from earliest days :
"a kind of savage supernatural figure, but mostly he symbolizes the violence that potentially exists in the heart of every human."
And that is during the war. Afterwards, Pumicpic is all smiles.
The well traveled Richard Pumicpic will meet the outstanding and unbeaten Alfred Lamptey from Ghana this Saturday night in Dubai.
With 12 wins with 8 knockouts, Lamptey is regarded as a real prodigy in African boxing at only 21 years of age.
But does he have the necessary experience and ring guile to dominate a boxer like Pumicpic?
I seriously doubt it, and this hot prospect from Ghana will need to be on full bore once they let the Beast out of his cage this Saturday night.
If this isn't a quality team of killers, then I don't know what is !!
Hitting the hot sands of Dubai this Saturday are three of the Philippines most experienced and dangerous campaigners - Argie Toquero, Donnie Nietes and Richard Pumicpic (flanked by team manager Raoul Navarrete)
Toquero and Pumicpic have been on the sidelines of late, but look in outstanding shape, and each take on unbeaten foreign fighters.
Donnie Nietes appears as the main undercard, and will battle Muhammad Waseem (12-2).
The big fights this Saturday night will take place at Dubai Studio City.
Big thanks go to our friend Mujtaba Kamal for setting this up - a big fan of pinoy boxing.
Best of luck champs !
Two of the Philippines best performed boxers prior to the pandemic were Argie Toquero and Richard Pumicpic.
But both of these former world ranked boxers have been devoid of opportunities in recent times, and finally, THE BOYS ARE BACK !
Toquero and Pumicpic are on the way to Dubai, fighting on a huge international card that also features pinoy champ Donnie Nietes.
Richard Pumicpic appears as the main undercard, taking on unbeaten African fighter Alfred Lamptey (12-0)
Argie Toquero jumps a weight class, and is pitched against unbeaten Indian Faizan Anwar (15-0)
VSP Promotions can report that despite the enormity of their tasks, Toquero and Pumicpic are in great shape, and are very good chance to cause big upsets in Dubai.
One of Papua New Guinea's best known fighters is headed to Manila, and has agreed to contest an exhibition bout in Paranaque on Saturday August 6th.
ANNIHILATION UKC will be preceded by a huge amateur show the day prior, and the PNG boxer will be looking for some valuable ring time to compensate for a year of inactivity. His opponent is not known yet, but will likely be a pinoy big name.
Richard Pumicpic, Jetro Pabustan, and the Wolverine JonJon Estrada are currently on the PNG banger's hit list!
Junior Raka is a former Arafura Games silver medallist, and has had 3 "official" professional bouts, winning 2 by Knockout. His loss was on points to the outstanding pinoy Roldan Aldea, in a WBA title match in early 2021.
The PNG Prodigy now has his sights set on challenging for that same belt against the freakish Charly Suarez, and his trip to the Philippines will be to remove ring rust, and to set sights on the King's Warrior as a potential future rival.
Junior Raka will head to the Philippines via HCMC Vietnam, where he will resume on Thursday July 28th. Raka takes pride of place as the main event at the show held at VSP BOXING GYM in HCMC.
Two of the very best and most experienced fighters in the Philippines will be featuring at Domination UKC tomorrow.
Richard Pumicpic resumes from a short lay off, after an accidental head clash forced his most recent foray to be deemed a "no contest ". The man known as "the Beast "has already notched up an incredible 22 wins, many of those against top class international boxers. Pumicpic, it's also accurate to say, is probably the Philippines most "robbed" fighter on the road!
Edison Berwela has been out of the ring since early 2020, so it's great to see this top performer finally back in action.
Berwela has an excellent record of 18 wins, and his recent defeats were all narrow points losses for international belts. The best of Edison Berwela will be seen perhaps now at featherweight, so both he and Pumicpic will be using tomorrow's lightweight 4 round clash as a stepping stone to their respective divisions.
Expect to see some really skillful work (albeit a little rusty!) from Richard Pumicpic and Edison Berwela in Paranaque City tomorrow. Both boys are main event fighters when at their peak, so it's fantastic to see them doing their thing tomorrow.

Amongst a collection of quality fighters at next month's TIGER 2O22 , the resilient and versatile Pablito Canada Jr. stands tall.
A winner of 7 matches, what has defined his career so far are the resume of opponents he has encountered on his path. The conclusion to be drawn is, Pablito Canada is only chosen for the very most dangerous assignments that other agents ( I mean boxers!) feverishly avoid !
Canada's last win was in late 2019, against Jetro Pabustan, a winner of 30 bouts, and a former WBO world title challenger.
Since then, he has taken on the unbeaten Japanese Ryosuke Nishida in Japan.
Then came Philippines' best boxer, the unbeaten Charly Suarez, and at the heavier class of super featherweight!
And to top that off, he then locked horns with perhaps the Philippines most deadly in KO King JonJon Estrada ! THE WOLVERINE !! Ughhh!
Pablito Canada has fought many of the division's best both locally and overseas, and it is no great surprise that his next opponent is no lesser name!

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 😈
