Jerwin Ancajas and Eumir Marcial is set to fly in the United States as soon as their visas are ready to prepare for their upcoming fights despite the current pandemic.

The pride of Manny Pacquiao Promotions Ancajas will be defending his IBF super flyweight belt for the ninth time while newly recruit Olympian Marcial will make his professional boxing debut.

Marcial, however, made a request to make his first few fights to be Olympic-style which means four-to-six rounder fights. While taking the professional route, Marcial will still fight in the Olympics next year bearing the Philippine Flag.

Sean Gibbons will handle everything for the Filipino boxers as they will be strictly monitored to keep them safe and ready.

Will Eumir Marcial make his impact on his debut? And will Ancajas defend his throne for another hungry contender?

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
