VSP PROMOTIONS | GETTING TO KNOW YIN YIN AU

GETTING TO KNOW YIN YIN AU

On April 19th in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnamese fight fans will meet one of Hong Kong’s most experienced female boxing figures when "Winnie" Yin Yin Au (歐盈盈) steps into the ring at TRIGGER PROMOTION 7.

Born on September 7, 1984, in Hong Kong, “Winnie” Au represents the steady wave of emerging fighters from the city’s growing boxing scene.

Competing professionally in the super bantamweight (122 lbs) division, she currently holds a record of 1–0–1, most recently securing a unanimous decision victory at Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Hong Kong.

But her professional record tells only part of the story.

Built Through the Amateur Ranks

Before turning professional, Au built a deep foundation in international amateur boxing.

She competed at the 2020 Asia/Oceania Olympic Boxing Qualification Tournament in Amman, Jordan, where she faced world-class Irish Magno of the Philippines in the women’s flyweight division — a supreme test at elite level competition.

In 2024, she claimed a silver medal at the Olympic Dreamer Tournament, competing in the women’s bantamweight (54kg) category — further proof of her continued ring knowledge, experience, and composure under pressure.

FIGHTER PROFILE

Yin Yin Au

Stance: Orthodox

Height: 5’4” (163 cm)

Reach: 62½” (159 cm)

Division (Pro): Super Bantamweight (122 lbs)

Technically composed and strategically disciplined, Au fights from an orthodox stance and relies on timing, ring IQ, and structured combinations rather than reckless aggression.

April 19 – Hong Kong vs Vietnam

On April 19th in Ho Chi Minh City, Au will face Vietnam’s own Michelle Nguyễn in a four-round bantamweight clash under the TRIGGER PROMOTION banner.

The bout represents more than just a contest — it is part of a potential regional rivalry and collaboration between Hong Kong and Vietnam boxing.

The event will feature three fighters from Hong Kong, highlighting the territory’s expanding presence in Southeast Asian professional boxing.

For Vietnamese fans, this will be their first close look at a seasoned Hong Kong campaigner who blends amateur polish with professional ambition.

On April 19th, Yin Yin Au doesn’t just bring her unbeaten professional record into the ring in Vietnam.

She enters as a veteran of international competition, a silver medallist, and a proud representative of Hong Kong — ready to test herself in hostile territory.

And in boxing, that’s when the real story often begins.

BAD INTENTIONS IN BOTH GLOVES

Former IBF Super Bantamweight World Champion Yukinori Oguni is set to fly into the Philippines to face Jon Jon "Wolverine" Estrada this April 10 at the Elorde Sports Center, Parañaque.

Yukinori Oguni is a Japanese professional boxer from Akō, Hyōgo. The rangy orthodox won his first 10 bouts straight, before later capturing the IBF super world title belt.

He holds a 21-3 record as a pro.

Oguni will be making his debut jump to the featherweight division by taking on the ever dangerous Jonjon Estrada.

The Japanese star had previously fought with the Filipino's three division world champion John Riel Casimero on October 12, 2023, at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.

The bout ended unfortunately - with a controversial technical draw because of an accidental headbutt.

Two judges had it for Casimero, and the other judge for Oguni, in what was developing into a see-sawing battle.

JonJon Estrada has proven to be one of the Philippines most popular fighters in recent years. The man known as the Wolverine is renowned for his low crouching style in stalking opponents, and his penchant for blunt force trauma ahead of flashy skills. He is definitely no fan of leaving it in the hands of the judges.

Estrada has knocked out 14 of his 18 victims, and has fought some of the best boxers in the Philippines - including world title aspirants Michael Dasmarinas and Charly Suarez.

Be in no doubt that come May 10th, Estrada has the baddest intentions embedded in both gloves, and will be looking to offer his decorated Japanese opponent a very hostile welcome to the 126lb division.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR EMAN BACOSA PACQUIAO ?

Eman Bacosa Pacquiao, the 21-year-old son of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, continues to make strides in his professional boxing career.

Last night at the Okada Manila Hotel and Casino, Bacosa secured a unanimous decision victory over Arnaud Darius Makita from the Congo, advancing his record to 6-0.

Despite the Unanimous Decision, the bout was very closely contested, with both fighters having moments of dominance.

Bacosa faced early adversity, being knocked down in the first round, although the incident was controversially ruled a slip. Despite this setback, he demonstrated enough to secure the win against an African opponent that turned up in super shape.

Many observers felt that Bacosa's performance was a little subpar, and lacked the expected advances on his previous efforts. But there may have been good reasons, and it was rumored that the lack of energy was due to a "challenging" weight cut that Eman experienced prior to last night's bout.

Makita, who presented in excellent condition, pushed Bacosa to his limits, highlighting multiple areas requiring improvement in Bacosa's game.

Last night's showing has also sparked discussions about the immediate future of the young Philippines boxer, and the caliber of his next opponents.

Whilst there is little argument that Eman Bacosa performed below his best, there is equally compelling evidence to suggest that the son of the great Pacman is far better than that !

As an unbeaten 6-0 with 4 knockouts, this marketable prospect has both potential and power - and is continuing to attract plenty of new supporters.

An interesting potential matchup which would generate huge interest is against Vietnam's Nguyen Van Hai, who boasts identical win stats, and generates big views in his home country.

Such a bout could provide Bacosa with a platform to showcase his skills against a more experienced and formidable opponent, further solidifying his standing in the boxing community.

As Bacosa continues to develop under the shadow of his father's legendary career, he faces the dual challenge of carving out his own identity while meeting unreasonably high expectations.

His recent performances indicate both his upside and the areas needing refinement - but in spite of some of the criticism leveled at last night's performance, no one can argue that he was given victory on a silver platter !

A soft win it wasn't - and boxers can grow from those sort of bouts.

Last night was another small and necessary step and we eagerly await what's next for Eman Bacosa Pacquiao.

CHARLY SUAREZ WORLD TITLE MAY 10

Philippines best fighter Charly Suarez first came to Vietnam 🇻🇳 in 2019 to fight at Victory8 in Hanoi again the legendary Nguyễn Văn Hải. He loved his experience so much, he vowed to return, but tge pandemic conspired. It wasn't until late 2022 that the unbeaten Suarez got his opportunity, where he successfully secured belts at the FORTUNES OF WAR held in Vung Tau.

Those trips to Vietnam 🇻🇳 and training at VSP Gym were an important part of a very long journey in boxing for Charly Suarez.

It began as a 10 year old training with his papa, a long and decorated amateur career, folliwed by a long run of unblemished success in the professional ranks.

And now, at the tender age of 37, finally one of the most avoided boxers on the planet gets his WORLD TITLE shot !!

Big congrats to Charly and Coach Delfin - Navarrete is in trouble !!

Dan Rafael has revealed via his Fight Freaks Unite Substack tonight that WBO super featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete (39-2-1, 32 KOs) will make the fourth defence of his title against the Philippines 🇵🇭 Charly Suarez 18-0, 9 KO)

Navarrete will defend his WBO strap against Suarez on May 10 at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, according to “sources with knowledge of the plans.”

The card will be promoted by Top Rank Boxing on ESPN.

Navarrete, a three-division world champion, is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous fighters in the sport. The 30-year-old Mexican warrior is coming off a savage knockout victory over former world champion Oscar Valdez, reaffirming his reputation as an elite finisher. His relentless pressure and unorthodox style have made him a dominant force from 122 lbs to 130 lbs.

Charly “The King’s Warrior” Suarez, has been ducked twice by Top Rank stars previously, and finally gets his well deserved world title shot this May.

A former Olympian, and one of the most technically gifted boxers the country has ever produced, Suarez has long been revered for his ring IQ, slick counterpunching, and elite movement.

Despite being the big betting underdog, the Davao native has every intention of putting on a clinic against the hard-hitting Mexican champion.

Expect the ethereal Suarez to take Navarrete to school !

“I respect Navarrete as a great champion, but this is my moment,” said Suarez.

“I’ve spent my entire career preparing for this chance, and on May 10, Philippines will have a new world champion.”

SUAREZ WINS SHOT AT WORLD TITLE GLORY

Charly “The King’s Warrior” Suarez, has been ducked twice by Top Rank stars previously, and finally gets his well deserved world title shot this May.

“I respect Navarrete as a great champion, but this is my moment,” said Suarez.

“I’ve spent my entire career preparing for this chance, and on May 10, Philippines will have a new world champion.”

The bout adds another chapter to the storied Mexico vs. Philippines boxing rivalry, which has produced legendary battles over the years. From Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera to Nonito Donaire vs. Fernando Montiel, some of the sport’s greatest fights have emerged from their classic match ups.

That said, the champion Navarrete will surely be supremely confident in his ability to overpower his lesser known challenger.

Despite the odds, Suarez’s technical brilliance and discipline will present a serious challenge to Navarrete’s relentless attack.

With Filipino and Mexican pride on the line, this world title fight promises to be one of the iconic bouts of 2O25.

But fight fans expect an upset - and a new Philippines world champion named Charly Suarez this coming May 10th.

March 17, 2025

NAVARRETE PUMPED FOR MAY DEFENSE

The Mexican superstar Emanuel Navarrete is already in outstanding shape, and confident of a dominant WBO world title defense in San Diego on May 10th.

"I don't know who I'll face in the future, but I'm sure I'll fight to be the best always!!!!"

#purovaquero 🤠🤠❤️❤️🇲🇽🇲🇽

Names in the frame are Andres Cortes and Charly Suarez.

But the Andres Cortes team ducked Suarez, so really, does he deserve a shot at Navarrete ?

Obviously NO !!

Let's hope the Philippines 🇵🇭 best fighter Charly Suarez gets to take on this Mexican cowboy 🇲🇽 Emanuel Navarrete !!

"VIETNAM" BOY IN SOUTHPAW SHOWDOWN

Adones Cabalquinto vs. Victor Nagbe:

Southpaw Showdown in Melbourne

Filipino veteran Adones Cabalquinto (26-4), is set for another major test on April 11 in Melbourne, Australia, where he will take on Liberia-born, Australia-based prospect Victor "Hot Chilli" Nagbe (9-1).

The opportunity to fight abroad has been made possible by the combined efforts of Robert Hill of VSP Promotions and Jayson Lau of DEF Promotions in Hong Kong.

Cabalquinto, a former standout under Manny Pacquiao Promotions, took a break from active competition to train and develop some of Vietnam’s top fighters whilst at Cocky Buffalo in Ho Chi Minh City. During his tenure, he stayed sharp by sparring with elite talent, including participating in VSP’s “Sparring with the Stars” sessions.

He was even regarded as an adopted Vietnam 🇻🇳 son !

Adones returned to his native Davao Philippines last year, and made a surprise comeback to the ring in August.

Despite obvious ring rust, Cabalquinto was dominant in a 6 round effort that saw him grind out a hard-fought victory over the very experienced Jose Ocampo.

That hastily organised bout was followed by a controversial early stoppage loss to world-ranked Roarke Knapp (world #40) in South Africa, in a bout where he looked quite comfortable before the referee blew his whistle.

Now ranked #2 in the Philippines at super welterweight, Cabalquinto steps up again against Victor Nagbe, a relentless pressure fighter known for his incredible work ethic—training up to five times a day.

Like Cabalquinto, Nagbe is also a southpaw, setting the stage for a highly technical, high-paced battle.

With VSP and DEF Promotions backing his comeback, Cabalquinto is looking to prove he still belongs among the best.

But Victor Nagbe, ranked #115 in the world, and is obviously hungry to make a statement of his own.

Predictions are never easy - but what we do know for sure is

April 11— Melbourne Australia - you are in for a Smorgasbord of Southpaw action !!

SANDSTROM WINS IBF TITLE IN SYDNEY

Linn Sandstrom, a professional Swedish boxer based in Australia , secured a unanimous decision victory over Yoselin Fernandez with scores of 98-83, 99-91, and 100-90 moments ago.

This impressive win tonight at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney earned Sandstrom the IBF International Super Flyweight title.

Sandstrom, a former world-title challenger, was always in control of a feisty Fernandez.

Trained by Tony Del Vecchio at the renowned Bondi Boxing Club in Australia, Sandstrom's hard work and dedication is reaping dividends despite only taking up the sport in her mid 20s.

VSP Promotions invited Sandstrom to compete in Vietnam in 2018 at the iconic Victory8 tournament.

Sandstrom's win tonight kicks off the Thurman-Jarvis prelims in Sydney, and marks a triumphant return to the ring for the Swedish boxer.

March 11, 2025

VICTORY8 HCMC - CLASS REUNION

Back in 2018, at the very first VSP Promotions Victory8 event in Ho Chi Minh City, two talented Australian fighters—Mateo Tapia and Linn Sandstrom—showcased their skills on an international stage.

Both fighters were part of a strong Australian contingent that traveled to Vietnam to test themselves against the country’s elite boxing talent in what became a landmark event for the sport in the region.

Mateo Tapia, now an undefeated rising star with a current professional record of 17-0, headlined the Victory8 card in a highly anticipated showdown against Vietnamese boxing cult hero Truong Dinh Hoang.

The fight was a thrilling contest, cementing Tapia’s reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting prospects.

It also confirmed the world class credentials of SEA Games gold medalist Truong Dinh Hoang, who took on the challenge at very short notice.

Linn Sandstrom, originally from Sweden but now fighting out of Australia, also faced a formidable challenge that night, taking on Nguyen Thi Tam, Vietnam’s golden girl and former world number one.

Sandstrom’s willingness to fight the best early in her career (only 2 years boxing experience) has since shaped her into a serious contender in the professional ranks.

Fast forward to tomorrow night at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, and both fighters are stepping into the ring for major title opportunities.

Mateo Tapia will take on Sergei Vorobev (20-2) of Russia for the IBF Intercontinental Middleweight title. This fight marks a crucial step toward a world title shot for Tapia, as a victory would propel him into the upper echelon of the division.

Linn Sandstrom is set to battle Yoselin Fernandez of Venezuela for the IBF International Super Flyweight belt. A win here would put Sandstrom on the path to a world title opportunity, solidifying her place among the best in the division.

Adding to the significance of the event, the night will be headlined by the return of former world champion Keith “One Time” Thurman.

The American boxing star, known for his power and skill, has only one loss in his much fabled career—a split decision defeat at the hands of the legendary Manny Pacquiao.

With Tapia and Sandstrom both fighting for prestigious IBF titles, this event could mark a defining moment in their careers, proving once again that they belong on the world stage.

ENDAR EDGES TRINIDAD IN THRILLER

Davao City's Dennis Endar secured a hard-fought split decision victory over Palawan's Jahzeel "The Technician" Trinidad last night, March 9, at the Calinan Gym in Calinan, Davao City.

Endar, a 24-year-old southpaw from Glan, dropped Trinidad in the 1st round with a knockdown that proved pivotal in the outcome. The Davao home boy dominated the early rounds, landing solid body blows until the 5th round. However, he began to tire, allowing Trinidad to gain momentum and control in the later rounds.

Trinidad, an Elorde prospect, showcased his skills and heart, winning over many new fans with his impressive performance. Despite the early knockdown, he demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability, adjusting his strategy to target Endar with short punches until the final bell.

The judges' scorecards reflected the closely contested nature of the fight, with Endar ultimately emerging victorious by split decision. This win marks his 8th victory, against two losses and two draws.

Endar's performance reinforces his status as a world contender, building on his impressive draw against top-class Chinese boxer Hu Longyi in Vietnam last year. His tendency to fade in later rounds, however, may indicate that a move up in weight class is on the horizon.

Trinidad, despite suffering his second setback against 12 wins, demonstrated that he belongs in the world contender category alongside Endar. His showing last night will undoubtedly earn him more recognition and opportunities in the future.

The exciting bout was promoted by Firmo Aligato of Ring Master Boxing Promotion, delivering on predictions of being a fight of the year contender. The non-stop punching action from start to finish showcased the skillset, fitness, and heart of these two young champions.

CHANG READY TO GO "BANG" DOWN UNDER

Jamie Chang vs. Kian Uchitel: Sydney Showdown Set for March 29

Papua New Guinea’s rising boxing star, Jamie Chang, is gearing up for a highly anticipated Featherweight clash against professional debutant Kian Uchitel at The Grand Vaudeville Center in Sydney on March 29.

The four-round bout is expected to deliver an exciting showdown between two promising young fighters.

Chang (1-1) is making a bold move up two weight divisions from Bantamweight, embracing the dual challenge of size disadvantage and late call up. However, facing a debutant in Uchitel might offer a more favorable matchup compared to his last fight against Kenya’s undefeated Emmanuel Shemeza.

That bout, held in Sydney, was a high-intensity contest between two elite prospects.

Shemeza (3-0) entered as the favorite, but Chang’s southpaw stance and sharp counterpunching created problems. Chang landed significant shots, even hurting Shemeza in the fifth round, but ultimately fell short in a razor-close majority decision, with one judge scoring it a draw.

Uchitel, representing the well-regarded Darkside Boxing club, is making his first professional appearance but brings a strong amateur pedigree. His last amateur bout in December showcased his skill and composure, and with a natural size and weight advantage over Chang, he poses a serious test for the PNG fighter.

The bout is part of Paul Nasari’s March Mayhem event, a night dedicated to showcasing up-and-coming talent. Set to take place at The Grand Vaudeville Center in Condell Park, Sydney, the card promises fireworks.

These are exciting times for Papua New Guinea boxing.

Chang’s fight isn’t the only PNG boxing highlight this month—his compatriot Fidelis Laia is also set to make his professional debut against Jayden Buan at Qudos Bank Arena just a week earlier. With Nasari’s push to promote emerging prospects, Papua New Guinea’s boxing scene is gaining momentum.

Will Chang’s experience and technical skills help him overcome Uchitel’s physical edge?

Or will the debutant’s fresh approach and amateur pedigree be the difference-maker?

One thing’s for sure— this bout is shaping up to be a thrilling contest between two rising talents, and big thanks must go out to one of Australia's best promoters - Mr. Paul Nasari.

DANIEL DUBOIS WITHDRAWS FROM RIYADH

Recent Anthony Joshua conqueror Daniel Dubois has sensationally withdrawn from Saturday's co-feature in Riyadh with popular New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker.

Many gave Parker a great shot of upsetting the more favored Dubois, but despite coming in at only two hours notice, a fight with incoming Martin Bakole seems a tougher proposition.

This a classic case of jumping from the frying pan and into the fire, as Martin Bakole is the most avoided guy in pro heavyweight boxing.

Quoted from news sources :

Martin Bakole is replacing Daniel Dubois in the fight against Joseph Parker this Saturday night in Riyadh because Dubois has fallen ill.

According to reports, Dubois was being evaluated by doctors on Thursday and was eventually ruled out of the fight.

As a result, Bakole, a Congolese heavyweight based in Scotland, has stepped in on short notice to face Parker. Bakole's promoter, Ben Shalom, arranged the fight in record time, and Bakole is flying over 2,000 miles from the Congo to Riyadh to make the fight happen.

The fight will no longer be for Dubois' IBF heavyweight title, but instead, Parker will defend his WBO interim heavyweight title against Bakole.

February 18, 2025

ENDAR v TRINIDAD - "RIYADH" IS IN DAVAO !

The humble Calinan Gymnasium in Davao may very well play host to what is arguably one of the most anticipated bouts in the Philippines' flyweight division this year !

Dennis Endar, the explosive southpaw from Davao, is slated to face off against Jahzeel Trinidad, the Lion Hearted from Palawan, for the coveted PBF Flyweight title on March 9th in the beautiful island of Mindanao.

Dennis "Machine Gun" Endar is known for his relentless pressure and awkward fighting style, and has already proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in his short 7-2 career.

VSP Promotions signed Endar to fight in Vietnam in August of last year, and his impressive draw against China's world-rated Longyi Hu at the Hoiana Resort alerted the boxing community to his rapid improvement.

Endar's ability to switch hit and swarm from both angles made him a nightmare to face for the higher ranked Chinese star, and served as an ominous warning for future rivals.

Jahzeel Trinidad shapes here as the higher rated and more experienced fighter, boasting an impressive 12-1 record in a career that commenced back in 2018.

The "Lion Hearted" has emerged as one of the most exciting talents to come out of Palawan since former world champion Gretchen Abaniel. He also hails from a talented boxing family, where brothers Alezer and Erson are top prospects.

Trained by the renowned Elorde stable, Trinidad has consistently honed those skills which were responsible for his 11 consecutive wins.

And his recent performances have been nothing short of electric - with four fights of his last six bouts ending in stoppage victories.

This matchup promises to be an instant classic, pitting two of the hottest talents in the Philippines' flyweight division against each other.

Endar's unorthodox style and Trinidad's precision and power will make for a thrilling encounter very reminiscent of a Riyadh style match up.

These are two of VSP Promotions very favourite fighters so don't miss this epic showdown on March 9th at the Calinan Gymnasium in Davao.

We are making an early call on this absolute banger and saying it's gonna be candidate for FIGHT OF THE YEAR !!

Get your popcorn ready !!

WOW - THESE GUYS CAN REALLY FIGHT !!

In what is set to be a monumental moment for Papua New Guinea's boxing scene, Fidelis Laia is gearing up to make his professional boxing debut on March 22nd at the iconic Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.

Laia, a two-time national champion, will face off against Australia's undefeated Jayden "the Bullet" Buan in a 63.5 kg super lightweight bout.

This iconic moment forms part of a massive Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Promotions card, headlined by former world champion George Kambosos - the man who famously dethroned Teofimo Lopez.

Laia's opportunity to shine on the international stage was made possible through a collaborative effort by VSP Promotions and Paul Nasari from Neutral Corner Promotions in Australia.

Both organizations are dedicated to promoting the growth of boxing, and have already hosted PNG prospects Junior Kauko Raka and Jamie Chang on previous shows in Australia, the Philippines and Vietnam.

The 30-year-old Laia expressed his excitement and gratitude for this opportunity.

"I'm over the moon to be representing Papua New Guinea in my first professional fight. This means a lot to me, as I've never competed at this level before."

Laia, a former taekwondo blackbelt, switched to boxing in 2015. He has since become a two-time national champion in two different weight classes, winning the 67 kg and 71 kg titles.

Laia acknowledges that his debut against Buan will be a tough challenge.

"I'm the national champion for the 67 kg, but for my pro debut, we're fighting in the 63.5 kg super lightweight division."

Despite the challenges, Laia is confident in his abilities and is training tirelessly with his coach, Ephraim Montoru.

"We're training 7 days a week, and we're looking forward to the fight. We know this is an extremely difficult challenge, but we aim to put Papua New Guinea on the map."

Laia's motivation for turning pro is to provide for his two children.

"Boxing is where I find peace. I also decided to take up pro boxing to earn some money, and help take care of my children."

With his historic debut just around the corner, Laia is ready to put on a show and make his country proud.

Said Coach Ephraim Montoru :

"When we're done, everyone will know what we already know about the fighting heart of our people.

We aim to shock the world and have them all say - 'WOW, THESE GUYS CAN REALLY FIGHT!'"

YOU CAN RUN - BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE !!

Whoever originally authored this quote definitely used Artur Beterbiev as their inspiration !

The first bout between light heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev and Dimitri Bivol was undoubtedly a classic match up, with both putting on master class versions of their respective styles.

But the closely contested match result wasn't without controversy, and it seems obvious the judges preferred the come forward style of Beterbiev, who appeared to land the more significant shots and was arguably the better ring general.

That said, it is stating the obvious that Dimitri Bivol will need to make changes if he wishes to get a different result in the second rendition of this great rivalry.

BUT CAN HE ? BIVOL SAYS YES !

In just 10 days, Dmitry Bivol will face off against Artur Beterbiev in a highly anticipated rematch at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Bivol, who boasts a 23-1 record with 12 KOs, is feeling confident about his chances, and it's all because of a change in his game plan.

Bivol believes that he can stand his ground and trade punches with Beterbiev, the undisputed light heavyweight champion, who has a formidable record of 21-0 with 20 KOs.

This new mindset is a departure from their previous fight on October 12th, where Bivol's constant movement ultimately led to his defeat.

Dimitri Bivol believes his best moments against Beterbiev were when he traded - and perhaps he is correct. But it's debatable whether he can maintain that mindset for 12 rounds without the very real scenario of getting himself knocked out.

Bivol's promoter, Eddie Hearn, still maintains that Bivol won the fight, but the judges disagreed. This time around, Bivol knows that he needs to prove to the judges that he can trade with Beterbiev if he wants to win.

Bivol's decision to stand and fight is a bold move, especially considering that Beterbiev hurt him in the seventh round of their previous fight. However, Bivol is undeterred, and he believes that he can out-punch Beterbiev to secure a victory.

If Bivol emerges victorious, he'll set himself up for a lucrative trilogy match, which would be a huge opportunity for him to showcase his skills. On the other hand, if he loses, it's likely that his chances of a third fight will be slim, and he'll have to face contenders like David Morrell and Joshua Buatsi.

One thing is certain: Bivol's new game plan has added an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming rematch.

Will he be able to pull off a stunning upset, or will Beterbiev's formidable punching power prove too much for him?

We'll have to wait until February 22nd to find out.

FIREWORKS PLANNED FOR CEBU PHILIPPINES

Two of the most popular international boxing identities to have competed in Vietnam are the Philippines 🇵🇭 Genesis Servania and China’s Aketelieti Yelejian.

Both boxers have scored impressive wins in Vietnam 🇻🇳, and in fact, Servania has moved from his home in Bacolod to train in Ho Chi Minh City.

In different circumstances, these two would be cheering each other on.

But tomorrow at the Nustar Resort and Casino in Cebu - these two are sworn enemies !

The two star boxers have gone on record to say that they boast the firepower to knock their adversary out - and it's high stakes !

Genesis Servania and Aketelieti Yelejian will duke it out for the WBO Oriental title, and no matter which way it goes, you can be certain you are gonna get plenty of BANG BANG for your buck with this one !

THIS ONE REALLY SUCKS !!

Bigtime disappointed that this match between old dog Mark John Yap and up and coming star Alexander Fredrikkson failed to meet the approval of GAB.

VSP had already run the story that what appeared to be a mismatch on paper - Yap with 34 wins up against Fredrikkson with only1 win would very likely turn out to be the fight of the night !

The deeds of Mark John Yap are well known.

But how about this kid who is one of the shining prospects of Omega Cebu.

Alexander Fredrikkson has been competing since he was 13 years of age, and has already amassed a super impressive record that will likely give him plenty of success as a higher level professional.

It certainly places him well in advance of your typical early stage fighter !

Consider this :

Fredrikkson went 178-7 in amateur fights.

He was a 6x national champion, and was ranked #3 European, #5 ranked in the world juniors at his peak.

His only fight as a professional lasted literally seconds into a first round demolition job.

Now regulators like GAB have an important role to play, especially when it comes to the safety of the sport’s competitors.

But is an inexperienced or debut boxer safe in the ring with Alexander Fredrikkson ?

I say NO !!

Bring on Mark John Yap !!!!

"MORRELL TO KNOCKOUT BENAVIDEZ "

David Morrell’s coach, Ronnie Shields, predicts a knockout win against the favorite, David Benavidez, this Saturday, February 1st.

Shields doesn’t know which round Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) will KO Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs), but he feels it will happen because his power will be too much for him. Benavidez has similar ideas, thinking he will hurt Morrell and score a knockout. Morrell has always done well against fighters who came to him looking to exchange, and Benavidez is tailor-made for his style.

“I don’t care if it’s by decision or knockout. What I care is I’m going to win, and I’m going to be the one coming out on top.” said David Morrell.

“He has to do both. You can’t fight Benavidez one way. You got to fight him at his own game, too,” said Morrell’s trainer, Ronnie Shields to Sean Zittel about Morrell needing to fight going backwards and coming forward against Benavidez.

Morrell will have no choice but to brawl and box Benavidez if he wants to win or survive 12 rounds without getting knocked out. Benavidez is a pressure fighter. That’s in his DNA, and he won’t let up even for a second in that fight. We saw that in his last fight against the bigger, stronger Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June 15th last year. Benavidez constantly pressured the more powerful former WBC light heavyweight champion Gvozdyk and made him move to keep from getting stopped. Gvozdyk lacked the gas tank, youth, or willingness to stand his ground or attack regularly, which allowed Benavidez to win almost every round uncontested.

"Just because he [Morrell] has 11 fights doesn’t mean you don’t have the experience of doing it,” said Shields when asked what happens if Benavidez wants to drag Morrell into deep waters in the later rounds. “This is why we have the gym. This is why we train every single day for this thing.” Morrell has the experience in the amateurs, but he hasn’t fought anyone in the pros like Benavidez, and will put him under the gun for twelve grueling rounds. One way of dealing with Benavidez’s pressure is to go for a knockout early because he will be there to be hit.

Morrell has shown power to knockout fighters who have never been stopped in their careers. Benavidez hasn’t fought anyone yet with the kind of power that Morrell has, and he might fold once he starts getting hit hard on the head and body.

Although he likes to call himself a “Monster,” he is human, and his resume is thin on talented opposition. Morrell and his manager, Luis Decubas Sr., are right that Benavidez has fought many older, smaller fighters with one foot out the door into retirement. His trainer/dad, Jose Benavidez Sr., has protected him well all these years, matching him selectively to build his 29-0 record.

They had hoped to convince Canelo Alvarez to fight them, but he wasn’t fooled. He saw the fake record and wasn’t fooled. It’s the same bit that Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia did. Fight fluff opposition, build a plastic record, and then angle for a big payday against Canelo. It’s sneaky, but it works.

MORRELL BY KO, SAYS SHIELDS

“He’s going to feel the power when he’s close, and he’s going to feel the power when Morrell is at a distance. So, we feel we have the advantage both ways. I really truly believe Morrell is going to knock him out. I don’t know when, and I don’t care when. That’s just my gut feeling that we’re going to knock him out,” said Shields.

Morrell can knock Benavidez out, but he’s going to need to fight more aggressively than he did in his last fight against ‘Hot Rod’ Radivoje Kalajdzic for him to do it. In that fight, Morrell didn’t pressure enough and stay on top of Radivoje to get the knockout. He hurt him several times but didn’t go after him.

WBO Super Featherweight #1 contender Charly Suarez waits in limbo, while his potential victims are hoping he gets real old !

We know it's just business, and Suarez doesn't sell in America, but after he blows away Emmanuel Navarrete - surely you can get some ROI at his next fight ?

DOES VIETNAM NEED A PRO COMMISSION ?

Yes - professional boxing requires a regulatory environment in which to operate, and the good news is - VIETNAM already has one !

The Vietnam Boxing Organization - VBO

Should there be additional commissions?

Or in fact an alternative to take it's place ?

Lots of misinformation on this topic, so let me contribute what I have learned in the many years I have been associated with pro boxing.

Regulators for professional boxing around the world have historically shown huge differences in both competency and ethical approaches to the sport.

In an attempt to work towards acceptable global standards, these are some of the criteria that both existing regulators and the industry record keeper BoxRec agree upon, and strive for :

1.The Pro Commission must have

NO AFFILIATIONS with AMATEUR BOXING.

Hence - VBF and HBF can not be the appropriate professional regulatory body for boxing here in Vietnam.

2.The Pro Commission must meet acceptable International standards.

This recognition will often be formalized with bilateral agreements between countries to denote that they are agreeable that the mutual standards are upheld, and allows for the trusted interchange of professional boxers.

3. The recognition of the Commission competency will also progress to the ability to communicate results of professional events to the industry record keeper BoxRec.

The stringent requirements to be endorsed as a professional regulator, manifest in far more accurate and valuable data for BoxRec.

This is a huge asset to an industry where in sadder times, results were often manufactured or misrepresented.

4. The professional boxing industry is loathe to accept or approve "multiple commissions" in a country, especially if a new player.

The legacy of multiple commissions in various regions has played out very poorly - often with an erosion in standards, commercial viability, and a strong bias towards imbibed cronyism.

Enough said - Vietnam 🇻🇳 already has a professional boxing commission.

So if the infighting and self interest subside, we are now armed and ready to make

VIETNAM a WORLD LEADING FIGHT BRAND !!

On the subject of Pro Commissions, and what they actually do, here are some basics :

Professional boxing requires a commission to oversee and regulate the sport, ensuring a safe and fair competition for fighters, promoters, and spectators. Here are some key reasons why a commission is necessary:

Safety and Fighter Welfare

1. Medical standards: Commissions establish and enforce medical standards to protect fighters' health and safety.

2. Weight classes: Commissions regulate weight classes to prevent fighters from competing at unhealthy weights.

3. Fighter licensing: Commissions issue licenses to fighters, ensuring they meet medical and experience requirements.

Fairness and Integrity

1. Judging and scoring: Commissions appoint and oversee judges, ensuring fair and accurate scoring. They also lodge these results to BoxRec.

2. Rules enforcement: Commissions enforce rules and regulations, preventing fouls and ensuring a fair contest.

3. Anti-doping: Commissions implement anti-doping programs to prevent performance-enhancing substances.

Promoter and Event Oversight

1. Event sanctioning: Commissions sanction events, ensuring promoters meet safety, medical, and financial requirements.

2. Promoter licensing: Commissions issue licenses to promoters, ensuring they meet financial and experience requirements.

3. Financial oversight: Commissions oversee financial aspects, such as fighter purses and ticket sales.

Governance and Accountability

1. Regulatory framework: Commissions establish and enforce regulations, providing a framework for the sport.

2. Dispute resolution: Commissions provide a mechanism for resolving disputes between fighters, promoters, and other stakeholders.

3. Accountability: Commissions hold promoters, fighters, and other stakeholders accountable for their actions.

The commission plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity, safety, and fairness of professional boxing.

Success in Boxing: 30% Talent, 70% Great Management

The upcoming January 24th fight between Korean boxer Kim Ye Joon and Naoya Inoue is a historic event in Korean boxing. While the spotlight is on the fighters, it's crucial to acknowledge the role of exceptional management in making this fight a reality.

Mike Altamura, Ye Joon's manager, highlights the significance of proactive management in a boxer's career. With a resume boasting 13 world champions and fight deals in 72 countries, Mike's experience speaks volumes.

He graciously shares how he strategically positioned Ye Joon for the Inoue fight, demonstrating a proactive approach that's often lacking in Asian boxing. Some selfish managers choke careers, by clinging to boxers and waiting for a lucky break instead of actively pursuing opportunities.

This fight exemplifies the importance of a skilled manager who can navigate the complexities of the boxing world, secure lucrative fights, and maximize a boxer's potential within their limited career window.

Mike Altamura

"Last May I had TJ Doheny whom I manage on reserve for the Tokyo Dome event in an 8 rounder. We were strategically there in case Luis Nery missed weight or something transpired. Call it an insurance policy.

I was with Mr Honda of Teiken Promotions on Dec 15 in Osaka, a day after Goodman's initial cut and postponement. I floated to him to do similar to TJ with Ye-Joon. Given Goodman's potential for either to be re cut or the cut not heal, place us on reserve. Joon is rated and has a solid record. A week later, he called me to make that a reality.

We negotiated the fee and I had him scheduled against a Filipino. We remained focused on that task but knew the possibility of the Inoue fight landing was always there, so we strategically readied for him too. 48 hours ago, the call arrived! I've had a strong history working together with Mr. Honda which makes all dealings in Japan smoother" --

PRIDE AND JOY: PEDRO TADURAN

The Ring cites Taduran’s upset KO victory

Story courtesy of Nick Giongco - Daily Tribune

Before taking on Shigeoka, Taduran had absorbed controversial defeats at the hands of Rene Mark Cuarto and the Japanese fighter’s camp may have thought that he was already in decline.

Pedro Taduran was supposed to serve as cannon fodder for Ginjiro Shigeoka, the heavy-handed and unbeaten champion from Japan when they rumbled in late-July last year in Otsu City.

Instead, it was Filipino southpaw who came out on top by forcing American referee Steve Willis to step in with 10 seconds remaining before the end of the ninth round as Shigeoka, who was defending his International Boxing Federation (IBF) minimumweight crown, was being pummeled on the ropes by Taduran.

The stunning win, pulled off after Taduran’s relentless punching and display of steely nerves, was enough for the venerable Ring magazine to pick it among 2024’s biggest upsets, according to Viva Promotions, which has a stake in the IBF champion’s affairs.

His dramatic victory over Shigeoka, then ranked by the Ring as its top fighter in the powerhouse 105-lb division, earned him a nomination as well in the Comeback of the Year category.

Before taking on Shigeoka, Taduran had absorbed controversial defeats at the hands of Rene Mark Cuarto and the Japanese fighter’s camp may have thought that he was already in decline.

But Taduran showed everyone he was far from being done as he mauled the erstwhile Shigeoka, using crackling combinations to the head and body in the entirety of their bloody brawl before a stunned crowd at the Shiga Daihatsu Arena.

By the time the third man on the ring intervened, Shigeoka’s right eye was swollen shut and for safety precautions, the fallen fighter had to be stretchered out of the ring for further examination.

Meanwhile, plans are afoot for Taduran to make a choice defense against Filipino challenger Ar-Ar Andales in late-February or early-March.

In fact, “that’s our focus during our training,” Taduran said.

He was originally scheduled to face Chinese knockout puncher Zhu Dianxing last November in Jeju Island, Korea, but the Vietnam-based Korean promoter Cocky Buffalo encountered financial problems in the runup to the fight.

Taduran reported back for training a few days ago after spending the holidays in his native Bicol.

Handling his daily grind at the Elorde Sports Center is Carl Peñalosa Jr.

Presently, Taduran joins fellow 105-pounder Melvin Jerusalem as the country’s world champions.

Jerusalem is the World Boxing Council titleholder.

VSP PROMOTIONS HAS GONE GLOBAL !!

It's official.

Boxing is indeed your passport to the world !

You will have noticed that VSP has been spruiking the potential of Papua New Guinea's 🇵🇬 boxers for some time now.

Junior Kauko Raka pioneered his flag with high level bouts in the Philippines and Vietnam, and now other top prospects are following his path.

Paul Nasari and Neutral Corner Promotions in Australia are big supporters of the growth of the sport, and have offered up some great fights on their March 29th card.

But it's going to be super hard to beat this one !

The "BOUGAINVILLE BOMBER" FIDELIS LAIA will make his pro debut against a guy who is revered in Vietnam - Jayden "the Bullet" Buan.

Jayden was a former amateur standout, who came to Vietnam as a 16 year old and performed on the biggest stages of Victory8.

He has since gone pro, and is an unbeaten 3-0.

But rather than duck and weave an easy path, the Bullet is embracing far more challenging opponents to fast track his pro education.

AND FIDELIS LAIA IS "MORE CHALLENGING" !

The Bougainville amateur team member has overcome numerous challenges and setbacks in his amateur journey, yet was still able to attain the status of twice been awarded national champ.

He has also tasted success in Oceania tournaments, which affords him that extremely valuable experience that will carry through to his pro debut.

And what a debut !

Whilst it could be argued that it's hard to find a more difficult first up assignment than Jayden Buan, the Bougainville Bomber was crafted from granite and tailor made for the professional format.

Win - lose - draw - expect to see an EPIC BATTLE to be produced courtesy of this man from Bougainville - Fidelis Laia 🇵🇬

Kudos Paul Nasari and the team at Neutral Corner for making these great fights and giving our boys a stage to shine !

LACAR SECURES WBC TITLE IN CHINA

Nice write up by the WBC after Surigao's Vencent Lacar posted an epic win over Olympian Bin Lu on December 28th.

"Filipino boxer Vencent Lacar made history on December 28, 2024, with a sensational performance to capture the WBC Far East flyweight title. Lacar overcame the experienced former Olympian and world title challenger Bin Liu of China in a dramatic bout held during the Boxing Gala in Haikou, China.

The highly anticipated contest lived up to expectations, with both fighters showcasing their skills and determination. Lacar’s speed, precision, and resilience proved decisive in a closely contested 10-round battle. The split decision victory was a testament to the Filipino pugilist’s grit and tactical acumen against a formidable opponent on Liu’s home soil.

The judges’ scorecards reflected the competitive nature of the fight. Two judges scored the bout in favor of Lacar, with tallies of 98-92 and 97-93, while the third judge saw it 94-96 for Liu. Despite the split verdict, the majority decision cemented Lacar’s status as one of the rising stars in the flyweight division.

Lacar’s victory is a significant milestone in his career, as he adds the prestigious WBC Far East flyweight title to his resume. His triumph also serves as an inspiration to Filipino boxing fans and underscores the country’s rich tradition in the sport.

With this win, Lacar has positioned himself as a serious contender for a potential world title opportunity, further solidifying his reputation on the international stage."

VIETNAM PRO BOXING - SEE THE WORLD !

Yes - pro boxing is your international passport.

Here's a bit of information for Vietnam boxers to get you started :

How does a Vietnam 🇻🇳 boxer get to experience the thrill of competing in a foreign event ??

Vietnam has next to no shows for professional boxers right now, so most are asking me how do they get a chance to compete outside the country.

Lot's of misinformation and misunderstanding doing the rounds in Vietnam, so here's some basic insights that you might find helpful.

VIETNAM 🇻🇳 PRO BOXERS - FOREIGN EVENTS

To compete in professional bouts overseas, Vietnam boxers must meet specific requirements. VSP Promotions helps facilitate overseas fights for Vietnam boxers.

Most international promoters and commissions generally require:

1. At least 2-3 professional bouts listed in BoxRec.

2. A valid professional boxing license (VBO)

3. Medical clearance, sometimes including a brain scan and blood tests.

International promoters often require boxers that fulfill one of these three categories :

1. 4-6 round bouts: Typically for less experienced boxers, with smaller purses - $200-500 per round.

2. 6-8 round fights: For higher-end boxers, with larger purses. $2000-4000 per fight.

3. Title matches: Usually 10-12 rounds, requiring a strong record and sanctioning body ranking. Purses can vary a lot, depending on weight class and the title, but $4000-30,000 is typical.

Eligibility Criteria for Title Matches

1. Minimum 10 wins.

2. Wins in last 2 fights.

3. Sanctioning body ranking.

4. High-level amateur record.

The international promoter is responsible for :

The contract for the bout and invitation letter to the boxer and any other team members.

The contract will also detail the Promoter's obligation to provide Air tickets, visas, transfers, the agreed prize money, accommodation, meals or a meal allowance in cash (per diems)

How does a Vietnam boxer register :

1. You must register with your local commission - Vietnam Boxing Organization (VBO)

2. Advise your interest with VSP Promotions, or any another reputable promoter, that can market you to overseas promoters, and inform them of your availability to fight.

3. If you are a registered amateur, you must seek an approval letter from VBF or HBF endorsing that you can be made available for a specified international pro bout.

Travel and Licensing Requirements

1. You will need to hold a valid passport with at least six months' validity.

2. Obtain a visa for the country where the fight will take place, if required.

The foreign promoter will pay for this.

3. Register with the athletic commission or governing body of the country where the fight will take place.

The foreign promoter will pay for this.

Hope this information helps guys - and in the meantime

SO STAY READY !!

WHO WILL SHINE FOR VIETNAM IN 2025 ?

He has been pivotal in getting Vietnam boxers opportunities to fight overseas, and provided stewardship for the most recent local event in Ho Chi Minh City.

Expect to see many more exciting events in Saigon this coming year - starting February.

Vietnam 🇻🇳 boxers were also were becoming an exciting brand as last year progressed, and were in increasing demand.

VSP sent boxers to Australia,Tanzania, Russia, Dubai, South Korea, Taiwan and China.

VENCENT LACAR ENTERS IN STYLE

The walkout into the Wuyuanhe arena by Surigao's Vencent Lacar.

Less than an hour later, the Philippines 🇵🇭 fighter was hoisting the WBO and WBC belts after a monumental win over Chinese Olympian Bin Lu.

December 30, 2024

VENCENT LACAR DEFYS ALL ODDS

Undefeated Vencent Lacar of Surigao del Norte gave Chinese Olympian Bin Lu a neat boxing lesson Saturday night in Haikou, China.

Despite only having eight professional fights going into the fight, Lacar, who didn’t have any amateur experience, conducted a master class en route to snatching the World Boxing Council Far East and World Boxing Organization Oriental flyweight titles via split decision.

The scorecards read: 96-94 (Lacar), 97-93 (Lacar) and 96-94 (Lu).

The stunning win came with a nice prize.

“It was a really good performance. Bin Lu was way more experienced, very technical but Vencent stayed focused the entire 10 rounds, used his jab, range and distance really well,” said Vietnam-based promoter Robert Hill of VSP Promotions, who was at ringside.

“His work rate was great.”

The victory boosted Lacar’s win-loss mark to 9-0 with four stoppages.

Lacar, who only turned pro a little over two years ago, was clearly the underdog on paper against the southpaw Lu, who saw his record sink to 4-2.

The Chinese had challenged unsuccessfully to win the World Boxing Association light-fly crown in 2018 in Malaysia.

Before embarking on a pro career, Lu won gold in the 2012 Youth Olympics in Armenia and represented China in the 2016 Rio Olympics where he went as far as the round-of-16.

2024 VBO ANNUAL REPORT

December 24, 2024

Dear Partners,

I would like to take this moment to first wish you and your family a safe and blessed holiday season.

This annual report serves as a benchmark for our progress and a commitment to transparency in our operations. In 2024, a notable decline occurred in the number of professional boxing events held domestically. This downturn was primarily attributed to the cessation of grassroots events by VSP Promotions, a key promoter that played a crucial role in introducing new talent to the domestic professional boxing scene.

The challenges faced in organizing professional boxing events in Vietnam intensified in 2024 compared to the previous year, a reflection of the current market conditions. We anticipate this trend to persist in 2025 due to the continued existence of an unsupportive environment for event organizers, fostered by the local amateur boxing federation.

VBO organized the gathering of 10 commissions in Asia in 8/2024. It is our view that Asia has a fundamental challenge in how boxing is managed and supervised. Standardization and coherent cooperation models that have actionable and measurable outcomes will need to be developed in order to create more regional opportunities for the industry participants.

DOMESTIC REPORT 2024

	2024	2023
Events supervised by VBO	4 of 5	13 of 15
Total number of bouts in the year	35	132
Number of Vietnamese Boxers	42	176
Number of debut boxers	23	89
Number of new female boxers in 2024	none	10
Number of Title fights in Vietnam in 2024 (excluding non-VBO sanctioned events)	WBO Asia Pacific Feather WBO Global Minimum x 2 IBF Asia Pacific Welter	WBO Oriental Youth WBO Global Minimum
Safety Incidents	None	None

INTERNATIONAL REPORT 2024

Number of Countries represented in Vietnam	11
Botswana, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Mongolia, Russia, Thailand, USA, Vietnam
Number of Overseas events for Vietnamese boxers	Taiwan (2), Korea (3), Russia (1), China (2)
Number of Overseas bouts for Vietnamese boxers	8
Performance by Vietnamese boxers overseas	4 Wins / 6 Losses

The VBO remains dedicated to securing international fight opportunities for Vietnamese boxers within safe environments. While the organization provides recommendations, the final decision to accept a fight rests solely with the boxers and their coaching teams.

OFFICIALS OF VBO REPORT 2024

Number of officials under VBO	8
Number of trainings provided to Officials	3 times
Number of training hours provided to Officials	3 hours

VBO collects detailed performance data of each official in their assigned roles at every event. We compile these data for use towards training requirements to further improve their performance.

We hope that 2025 will bring more opportunities for the boxers between partnering countries and jointly continue to improve the quality of our officials. Have a wonderful holiday season! See you all in 2025.

Sincerely,

Lim Song

President of Vietnam Boxing Organization

Surigao del Norte prospect Vencent Lacar 🇵🇭 will be representing the Philippines in China on December 28th when he contests the co-main event for not just one, but two major titles.

Lacar will fight China's Olympian Bin Lu for the WBO Oriental and WBC Far East Titles at flyweight.

Bin Lu is looking to parlay his outstanding amateur form into the world pro rankings, but the unbeaten pinoy has vowed to put an end to those aspirations.

THE TRIGGERMAN SHOOTS TO KILL !

Zamboanga heavy hitter Weljon Mindoro stops Aussie Joel Camilleri with a 4th round TKO in Dubai just moments ago.

It was a sensational result for the Philippines 🇵🇭 boxer known as "The Triggerman" , as the experienced Camilleri had never been dropped in a long amateur and professional career.

Huge poise and pressure applied with blunt force trauma - the sky is the limit for Mindoro !

WHY BOXING IS THE GREATEST !

"I’ve been questioned why I take photos with my opponents the next day, especially after a defeat.

A true boxing person knows that boxing is a sport of respect, of honour, a sport that only very few have the balls to do. We aren’t enemies after the fight, we aren’t enemies before, we are just rivals in the lead up.

This man went to war with me last night and came out as the victor. For that, he deserves all of the respect in the world 🌍

I’m a tough mofo, but this man was the better and stronger warrior on the night.

Win or lose, my opponents earn my full respect for sharing the ring with me.

Much respect Weljon Mindoro 🤜🏼🤛🏼

You have a big future in the sport 💯👊🏼🇵🇭"

- JOEL CAMILLERI

AUSTRALIA v PHILIPPINES READY TO GO !

Joel Camilleri and Weljon Mindoro made weight and are looking in crazy shape for tomorrow night's clash in Dubai.

The pair will be part of the IBA Champions event to be held the The Agenda function centre in Dubai.

The 8 round bout will be a real test for the boy from Zamboanga, who has won all his previous fights by KNOCKOUT !

Interestingly, the experienced Australian opponent has never touched the canvas in either the amateurs or the pros - including a torrid battle against former world champion Tim Tszyu.

This will be a cracking fight. We will show the live feed here tomorrow night.

PACMAN - IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER

The sand in the hourglass of Manny Pacquiao’s on-again, off-again flirtation with fighting could be winding down.

The Filipino icon turns 46 years old on December 17, has not fought professionally since 2021, looked like a shell of himself in a July exhibition, and is pursuing a political role in his native Phillippines early next year.

Although the eight-division champion Pacquiao, 62-8-2 (39 KOs), is a sure-fire lock to be a first-ballot International Boxing Hall of Famer when the inductees are announced later this month, “Pacman” still believes he has one more run left in him.

“He's running for Senate in the Phillippines from February 11 to May 11. If he gets something by January 31, 2025 he's ready to rumble,” Pacquiao’s promoter and right-hand man Sean Gibbons told BoxingScene. “I don't know what's going to happen after that … With Manny, he could be fighting until he's 50.”

Pacquiao had been linked to a potential bout against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios throughout the year but after looking vulnerable in his exhibition against Rukiya Anpo, Barrios instead turned the page to a title defense against Abel Ramos in November.

“Manny didn't look as good against Anpo because of a lot of things behind the scenes that went into it,” Gibbons explained. “He didn't overly prepare for it. He thought he was fighting someone else and it ended up being a bigger guy. He felt great. What else can you do? It was an exhibition. He was there just to move around. The other guy thought it was a real fight. He came to make a name off of Manny and Manny still easily cruised through the thing for a guy that got off the couch.

“I told Manny that the Barrios fight was the perfect fight to make. Things got in the way with certain people in his ear, but that fight is still possible. It could happen in June, July, or August – one last one.”

Time is running out for Pacquiao if he’s solely planning to face Barrios to become a world champion once again. On Friday, Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn said he made an offer for Barrios to next face Conor Benn.

DAO TO FIGHT AT TAIPEI ARENA ON DEC 21

It's like a scene from Gladiator 2 !!

Taiwan has long been a haven for amateur boxing talent, and are now slowly testing the waters in the professional format.

This month, Vietnam 🇻🇳 boxer Tran Tan Quang Dao ventures to Taiwan to take on one of their best, and the action will go down at the prestigious Taipei Arena.

That's a quantum leap from a guy rated one of the most promising at VSP PRO, and throwing leather at VSP Gym !

Here's the story :

Vietnam 🇻🇳 boxer Tran Tan Quang Dao is set to fight one of one of Taiwan's emerging stars at the Taipei Arena on December 21st.

Kai Yu Hsieh is an unbeaten prospect and rapidly making a name for himself in the boxing world. With a perfect record of 2 wins, both victories were dominant shutout performances on points, showcasing advanced skills and technical prowess.

Hsieh's amateur background is equally impressive, having won the gold medal in the national amateur championships at 64kg.

But Hsieh's next bout against Tran Tan Quang Dao will be a significant test of his skills, and obviously a great opportunity to gain more experience and exposure.

But Tran Tan Quang Dao is on that similar path, and has implemented a "duck nobody" policy !

Identical to his opponent, Dao has already secured two wins, and many argue that he was unfortunate not to have added two more victories to his record. His two most recent bouts were closely contested, with some observers believing that the decisions could have gone in his favor.

That said, Dao is constantly seeking improvements to his craft along with new challenges, and his clash with Kai Yu Hsieh will be an excellent tribute to close out 2024.

HAI TO MAKE A SPLASH ON JEJU ISLAND !

The "Hanoi Hitman" looks to close out 2024 in Korea next month - and he promises to do so in devastating fashion !

Hai is booked to fight former national champ Min Guk Ju - a southpaw boxer with 9 wins to his credit.

The bout will take place on Jeju Island South Korea on December 15th.

The Seoul based boxer is certainly an interesting opponent, and there are many question marks surrounding his chances in a fight with the Vietnam star.

Min Guk Ju has not fought since October of last year, yet his decision to take on a tough opponent like Nguyễn Văn Hải suggests that he is very confident of recapturing his very best form.

It also speaks loudly of a boxer that is looking to fast track his world rankings.

Min Guk Ju was controversially beaten for the WBC Asia Continental title in China - a bout he lost narrowly on points despite knocking his opponent down in the contest.

He was then stopped in Japan by the unbeaten Chihiro Iwashita - a real "hell fight" where at any moment, either boxer could get have dropped, and both were tasting moments of success.

Suffice to say - the Korean boxer is high calibre, and with vengeance on his mind, will be looking to make a statement with a victory over the classy Nguyễn Văn Hải.

But the Hanoi Hitman has plans of his own !

"Boxing has been very good to me. I get to make new friends, and I am always excited to visit new parts of the world. I am very lucky !

This will be my first chance to visit Jeju Island in Korea - I heard it is a very beautiful place.

I have full respect to my opponent - he has been a champion, and he is looking to make his mark again in the game of boxing.

But this year will end badly for him.

Hai plans to knock him out and deliver a beautiful gift to the people of Jeju Island.

I'm looking for bigger fights in 2025, so I will be devastating with Min Guk Ju.

No mercy !"

VENCENT LACAR EYES TITLES ON DEC 28TH

The WBO hosted a packed media conference today, sharing details of some big title matches coming up in China on December 28th.

Leon Panoncillo, the Chairman of WBO International, previewed the big fights that await, and most importantly, what belts are at stake.

VSP Promotions are providing two of the headline bouts for this iconic event which will be held in Haikou, the capital of picturesque Hainan island.

Vencent Lacar 🇵🇭 a fighter from Surigao del Norte, will fight China's Olympian Bin Lu for the WBO Oriental and WBC Far East Titles at flyweight.

Ablaikhan Khussainov 🇰🇿 is a top prospect based in Almaty Kazakhstan, and he will be in search of the WBO Intercontinental belt at the expense of the unbeaten Yongquiang Yang. This Lightweight clash is foreshadowed to be the main event of the evening.

Congratulations to the organizers Hainan Golden Belt Sports Promotions for a highly successful media day.

KHUSSAINOV ON HUNT FOR WBO BELT IN CHINA

In the heart of Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city, nestled in the foothills of the majestic Tian Shan mountains, a relatively unknown boxing "sensation" has been quietly working on conquering the world.

Ablaikhan Khussainov, a proud son of Almaty, has long been groomed for greatness in the sport of boxing, and will be unveiled by VSP Promotions at a big event on iconic Hainan Island next month.

Growing up in a family passionate about sports and boxing, Khussainov was introduced to the sweet science from a young age. He spent countless hours honing his craft, driven by a fierce determination to succeed. As an amateur, Khussainov racked up an impressive record of 230 wins from 250 fights, showcasing his exceptional skill and tenacity. And it was this success that laid the foundation for a promising professional career.

Khussainov already boasts the impressive stats of 13-1 (10KO) in the pros, but opportunities are not easy to come by in his homeland.

So Khussainov abides by a "have gloves will travel" mindset, with the majority of his fights taking place outside of his country.

The adventurous boxer has already competed in quality bouts in Canada, China, Dubai, Mexico and Russia in his short pro career.

The 33 year old orthodox puncher draws inspiration from his idol, the legendary Kazakh boxer Gennady Golovkin (GGG).

Like Golovkin, Khussainov harbors ambitions of becoming a world champion, and his unwavering dedication to training suggests he is willing to put in the hard work necessary to achieve his goal.

When not in the gym, Khussainov enjoys relaxing in the mountains surrounding Almaty, often going hiking and climbing to clear his mind and recharge his batteries. This connection to nature helps him stay grounded and focused on his objectives.

As Khussainov prepares to face the unbeaten Yongquiang Yang for the WBO International title on December 28th, there are many in Kazakhstan that confidently suggest that this is the "big break" that he has been working towards. A win will see him step up towards the big fights that he has been dreaming of.

But every mountain summit has it's challenges, and China’s current WBO champion Yongquiang Yang has looked simply indomitable in recent appearances.

Will the mountain warrior from Almaty prove victorious and take a significant step towards realizing his world championship dreams?
