Tokyo Olympics-bound boxer Eumir Marcial said that more than his form, he is more bent on getting his fighting weight in time for this year’s ASBC Asian Elite Men and Women Boxing Championships on May 21 to June 1 in Dubai.
Since he returned from the US last April 20, Marcial has been training in his hometown in Zamboanga City with Gerson Nietes, a member of the national team coaching staff, at the Zamboanga Valientes Boxing Gym.
The 25-year-old Marcial will compete in the 75kilogram middleweight category in the ASBC, and his focus right now in training is for him to lose weight in time for the tournament.
