The Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) has succeeded in its efforts to bring Olympic middleweight qualifier Eumir Felix Marcial to the United States Olympic Boxing Training Center in Colorado Springs for the last stage of his preparations for Tokyo.
Marcial was supposed to fly directly to Thailand after the ongoing Asian Championships in Dubai but the plan hit a snag because of Visa issues (Thailand now requires Visas of all foreign visitors because of the pandemic).
The other Filipino Olympians have been training in Bangkok since March.
ABAP secretary-general Ed Picson said they learned that there will be a multi-nation training camp in Colorado Springs with the 6 American Olympic qualifiers and several other countries.

A pair of 1,000-year-old religious relics, which US investigators say were illegally taken from Thailand, have been returned after more than five decades.
The stone lintels had been housed at San Francisco s Asian Art Museum since the 1960s. But the city formally handed the artifacts back to Thai officials at a ceremony in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Each weighing around 1,500 pounds, the sandstone items date back to the late 10th and 11th centuries, according to the Asian Art Museum. They originated from ancient temples in northeast Thailand, and were acquired by the museum in the 1960s via Avery Brundage, a former president of the International Olympic Committee and an avid collector of Asian art.

A Hamas rocket attack on an agricultural estate near the Gaza Strip killed two Thai nationals and injured eight others who were treated in an Israeli hospital, Thailand’s government said Wednesday.
The rocket strike in Moshav Ohad occurred amid heavy fighting that broke out earlier this month between Israel and Palestinian forces, and which has shown no sign of letting up. Thais are among at least tens of thousands of migrants from Southeast Asian countries who work in the Jewish State.
“The deaths of two Thai labors in Israel and the injuries of eight from the Hamas attack in Moshav Ohad near the Gaza Strip on May 18, 2021, inflicted the worst casualties among Thai labors since the beginning of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts,” Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Tanee Sangrat told reporters.
