Eumir Marcial heading to Thailand to gear up for Tokyo Olympics
Olympic-bound Eumir Marcial is set to join the training bubble of Filipino boxers in Thailand, following the conclusion of the ASBC Asian Elite Men and Women Boxing Championships in late May.
According to Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) secretary-general Ed Picson, the professional boxer relayed the message recently while training in Zamboanga under the auspices of national team coach Gerson Nietes. I think it s a good decision. Actually, I ve been trying to get him to Thailand even when he was in the U.S. A [Thai] visa was already sent there to the L.A. consulate, but he decided not to pick it up so we re applying him another visa, explained Picson in Tuesday s online Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum.

Next month s Irish Athletic Boxing Association (IABA) Elite Championships have been postponed, landing a body blow to boxers hoping to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Officials from IABA have been in talks with Paul McDermott from Sport Ireland as well as Peter Hogan and James Lavelle from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media over the prospect of a return to full contact training and competition.
However it was confirmed the IABA Elite Championships - planned to take place in January - would need to be rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The decision will be a setback to Ireland s Tokyo 2020 hopefuls who will be looking to step up their preparations for the Olympic qualifier in London in April.
