Mark John Yap is one of the Philippines premier boxers, and arguably one of their best internationally performed in recent times. In the five years prior to the pandemic, Yap literally tore some of Japan’s best fighters to shreds, and picked up three OPBF titles in the process. He has recorded 31 wins as a professional. Amazing considering the caliber of opposition that he has confronted during his incredible career.

This is a vastly experienced boxing star who most recently overcame Papua New Guinea champion Junior Raka in dominating fashion, and will be using this exhibition bout the keep his weapons sharp for a likely bout in Manila in January.

Don’t be surprised to see the Journey Man back in Vietnam in 2023 for a big fight.

THIS ONE REALLY SUCKS !!
February 5, 2025

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 !!!!
TWO YEARS AGO ALREADY !!
November 17, 2024

TWO YEARS AGO ALREADY !!

Bit of nostalgia here, but this FORTUNES OF WAR was an extremely fun event (despite the many dramas) and well worth revisiting. And you will see that there are lot's of familiar names on this historic fight card.

The Vietnam 🇻🇳 team was spearheaded by Dinh Hong Quân, a guy that had been on a winning run and was defending an IBF Title, but he was having lots of trouble with his weight in the lead up. He even collapsed at one stage and had to be resuscitated at one point !
We had top young prospects Lê Hoàng Hiep and Phan Minh Quân, who fought out of their skins against international pro boxers with more than 70 wins between them ! 
Nguyễn Văn Hải is obviously a legend on the local scene but had been inactive, so he was a bit of a "query" inclusion - yet he produced a memorable performance that culminated in two dramatic knockdowns.
But even more amazing was the debut of another Vietnam kid Thai Hoang Huy - this guy had never even boxed (he was a muay thai student that loved the idea of being a boxer !) And he went in with an opponent that had 14 knockouts in 15 wins - BIG BALLS !!
Suffice to say, the Vietnam 🇻🇳 team had a great experience and a lot of fun at this show - it was held at the beautiful Grand Ho Tram Resort in the coastal area of Vung Tau.

The visiting international team?
Well - some crazy talent on that side of the fence !

Philippines 🇵🇭 - Charly Suarez, Mark John Yap, Arnel Baconaje, Jetro Pabustan and Jon Jon Estrada. 
These guys share plaudits as multiple national and regional title holders, with the unbeaten Suarez currently on the precipice of a world title.

Indonesia 🇮🇩 - Paisal Panjaitan - a really top unbeaten prospect who is now #2 in his country.
Defry Palulu - an Indonesia #2 and WBC belt holder.

South Korea 🇰🇷 - Chan Ho Song - an unbeaten 12-0 guy with blazing hands and a World Youth champ.

Thailand 🇹🇭 - Anuson Thonglueang - a top youth prospect with only one loss in 14 bouts, and who currently sits at #2 rated Welterweight in Thailand. 

Thanks for making this FORTUNES OF WAR a very memorable event boys, you put on a thrilling and entertaining show for everyone that was lucky enough to be there to see it.
VSP wish you continued luck and enjoyment in your boxing adventures ahead.

PS. the main event between Dinh Hong Quân 🇭🇰 and Arnel Baconaje 🇵🇭 was watched by more than 2 million people online !

WHEN THE WAR IS OVER IT'S TIME TO EAT !

Mark John Yap and Jerald Into fought themselves to a standstill in stifling hot conditions in Surigao del Sur on Thursday night.
The two fighters turned on an all action performance in their pursuit of the WBC Asia title, and both were near collapsed on their stools at round 8.
Fast forward two hours, and despite a few aches and pains, the protagonists had recovered enough to take this shot in the food market which was buzzing for fiesta in Cantilan. 
And it's a great reminder that true professionals are total warriors inside the ropes, and total gentleman outside ! 
Congratulations to Jerald Into for another superb performance - you are making improvements in every fight. 
And big kudos to Mark John Yap for taking on challenges like this. 
Jumping a weight class or two to fight a big guy like Jerald Into is no joke. 
But even more newsworthy is that Yap had to rush back to CDO to welcome the birth of his baby daughter Claudia the very next day. 
Now that is great timing indeed!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs Yap on your new addition !

YAP FIGHTS FOR WBC CROWN AUGUST 15TH

VSP and Elorde team boy Marjohn Yap faces unbeaten prospect Jerald Into for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Asia lightweight belt in the main event of Manny Pacquiao’s “Blow-by-Blow” boxing show at the Cantilan Municipal Gymnasium in Cantilan, Surigao del Sur, on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024.

At 35 years old and with a 17-year pro career, Yap is still a very credible and dangerous fighter. He won four of his last five fights.

Yap is coming off a unanimous decision win over fellow journeyman Monico Laurente last year.

The 24-year-old Into, on the other hand, is a fast-rising prospect who’s been impressive in his five-year pro career.

He’ll be facing his stiffest test against the experienced Yap.

Into is fresh from a second-round stoppage of veteran Jhon Gemino last March 23, 2024.

Yap is 34-18 with 17 knocksouts, while Into is 10-0 with eight kayos.

Meanwhile, knockout artist Fernando Tagpuno Jr. (8-3, 8 KOs) takes on undefeated Jing Aguan (6-0, 4 KOs) for the Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) featherweight belt and Roslan Eco (11-3, 7 KOs) locks horns with Jayson Brillo (8-2-1, 7 KOs) in the featured fights.

In the undercard, Crisalito Beltran (6-0, 5 KOs) trades leathers with Roger Ocum (4-0, 3 KOs), Jesarial Ancajas (3-0, 1 KO) goes up against Paolo Fortun (3-0, 1 KO), Randy Palma (2-0, 2 KOs) exchanges blows with Nigerian-Japanese JJ Ologun (5-0, 4 KOs), Nico Salado (2-0-1, 1 KO) faces Ricky Cristobal (3-2, 1 KO), Niño Cardoza (3-2) clashes with Hermon Remoroza (2-1, 2 KOs), Ken Danila (2-0, 2 KOs) battles Jayson But-ay (2-0, 1 KO), Benjo Neri (3-2, 1 KO) fights vs. Mark Sabang (2-1-1, 1 KO), Jingie Labtic (1-1, 1 KO) faces Rodrigo Virtudazo (0-1), Sunday Lacar goes up against Elmar Tiempo, and John Ferl Buer (1-0, 1 KO) opens the show against Jurie Micho Evangelista. / EKA

YAP AND NGAKA BOTH WANTING WBF PRIZE
March 17, 2024

YAP AND NGAKA BOTH WANTING WBF PRIZE

The countdown is on !
The Philippines' Mark John Yap and Botswana's Moabi Ngaka will be banging it out in 10 days time to decide the World Boxing Foundation International title.
And both countries are supremely confident of capturing the prestigious prize !

Those in the Yap camp say that this is the lightest they have seen the Journey Man prior to a big fight, and that his training has seen the experienced warrior ascend to new levels.
Moabi Ngaka is famed for his cardio, and has been reeling off 20km runs in amongst a torrid twice daily training schedule of sparring multiple partners at each session. 
This will very definitely be a battle of Mark John Yap's experience and power versus the speed, movement and endurance of the younger and taller Moabi Ngaka. 
But as they say, two dogs - one bone !!
So who you got ????

PHILIPPINES SET FOR AN AFRICAN SAFARI

Three weeks out and no signs of nerves, the Elorde team of Mark John Yap, Arnel Baconaje, JonJon Estrada and Jetro Pabustan (trainer) discuss articles of war for the RUMBLE IN THE OKAVANGO on March 30th. 
The event will match many of Africa and Asia's best boxers against one another in Maun, Botswana - a location that is the gateway to the iconic Okavango Delta. 
All three pinoy have significant tasks ahead.
JonJon Estrada takes on South African champion Jeff Magagane in the featherweight class.
Arnel Baconaje meets Steven Bagwasi, arguably the best boxer P4P in Botswana. 
Mark John Yap appears in the main event - a WBF International title match against local star Moabi Ngaka. 
The three Philippines 🇵🇭 boxers will be part of an Asian Team that includes China 🇨🇳, India 🇮🇳 and Vietnam 🇻🇳.

NGAKA TAUNTS MARK YAP TO GO TO WAR
February 29, 2024

NGAKA TAUNTS MARK YAP TO GO TO WAR

Botswana’s Moabi "The Eagle" Ngaka " is a man well versed with the habitat of lions, and he will need to draw on all that hometown knowledge on March 30th when he steps into the ring with the Philippines' Mark John Yap. 
The two boxers will contest the World Boxing Foundation International title - a main event contest over 10 rounds to decide the Super Featherweight champion.
And the task for Ngaka is daunting to say the least !

Despite being a talented member of the national team in Botswana, he has literally had to jump at the very limited pro opportunities that have come his way, amassing a 3-1 record. And if you include his bouts not listed in BoxRec, he is already 7-1. 
There is no doubt that Moabi Ngaka has the makings of quality international boxer. 
But against Mark John Yap - REALLY ? 

It's just impossible to see that he has the experience to go with a man that has 17 years in the pro ranks, had an unbeaten run of 10 wins in Japan over 3 years where he tore some of their very best to shreds. Yap picked up three OPBF titles in a winning run that was finally ended in a points loss to world rated #2 Takuma Inoue.

But here's the interesting footnote - Moabi Ngaka specifically asked for the task ! There were a number of easier opponents that the African boxer could have taken, but he chose the Philippines Journey Man instead. 

"I want Mark John Yap !! He is a warrior, so am I - so lets GO TO WAR ! 
I'm not here to play around, I train hard, and I fight harder. I want to test myself with real fighters, and they don't come any more real than Yap."

Those close to the Botswana boxer share his belief, and say he is ripe to pull off a big upset against his Philippines rival. Ngaka is renowned for his cardio and loose movement in the ring, and they are of the opinion that Yap will be air swinging on old legs in later rounds.

"I want everyone to tune in on March 30th - I will say that this will be a war, and I will drop Mark Yap. Maybe more than once. They will all be saying that the EAGLE HAS LANDED."

"MARK YAP WILL DROP. THIS IS WAR !"
February 19, 2024

"MARK YAP WILL DROP. THIS IS WAR !"

The main event boxer that will face the Philippines' Mark John Yap has made the bold prediction that he will drop his counterpart at least once in next month's headliner.
This is a view that's endorsed by many in Africa that think Yap will age overnight, and that he doesn't have the speed or legs to go with his younger opponent. 

"Africa is different man. It's really hot here, we are used to it. And we have lots to deal with every day, fighting is what we love, and to have old men come to our backyard and beat us ? C'mon man, that just not gonna happen. 
Yah eish we are lions and we hungry !
Yap is a good fighter, but he won't be good against me. But respect - I know he will try hard, he will do his best to make it good for the people watching"

Moabi Ngaka heads a team of 11 boxers from the African nations of Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe to fight in Maun on March 30th. 
Mark John Yap and Moabi Ngaka will compete for the World Boxing Foundation title at 130lb.

YAP PUTTING MILES IN THE LEGS FOR AFRICA
February 4, 2024

YAP PUTTING MILES IN THE LEGS FOR AFRICA

African boxers are famed for their athleticism, their cat like reflexes, but even moreso, their crazy endurance.
Their boxers have great lungs, which makes them ever so hard to beat in longer fights.
And Mark John Yap heads to Botswana on March 30th for a leg sapping 10 round classic with local star Moabi Ngaka. 
Ngaka is fabled for his cardio, and rises at 4am to knock off 20km road runs before the sun beats hard. 
Well two can play at that game !
The "Journey Man" Mark John Yap competed in the Cagayan de Oro "marathon" earlier today, landing a top five finish in the 10km road race. And the good news is, he was doing his best work at the finish. 
Yap will spearhead a top international team in Botswana Africa next month, and is adament that he will have the legs to go with a younger and hungry Moabi Ngaka. 
Ngaka has already raised eyebrows stating he will drop Yap, and make a statement win that will shock Asia.
But dropping Yap will be no easy feat !
Mark John Yap has 34 wins on his resume, with his only losses in recent years being against unbeaten and world rated opponents. Often these were bouts taken at extremely short notice, or out of his weight class. He also has plenty of firepower of his own, sending 17 opponents to the canvas.
The war of words has only just begun !

MARK JOHN YAP READY TO GO SNAP SNAP

Vietnam and VSP visitor from the Philippines Mark John Yap is set to finish 2023 the way it started - with a BANG !
Yap defeated the tough Leonardo Doronio by knockout in January, then took time out for the birth of his first child Yuri. 
Despite putting on some weight, Yap came to Vietnam and performed an exhibition against national team boxer Nguyễn Hà Minh, and though looking rusty, he dropped his classy opponent multiple times in the final round for an impressive win. 
Vietnam hosted Mark John Yap once more in July, when he headed to Ho Tram and bested Hasan Sikdar  - once more by knockout. 
The VSP sponsored boxer returns to the ring next Monday on a mammoth card to be held at the Elorde Sports Centre in Parañaque Manila.  And looking at the shape he is in, another knockout would certainly not surprise. 
Mark John Yap ranks with Charly Suarez as amongst the very best foreign boxers to ever come to Vietnam, and we really hope to see him here again in 2024.

YAP BROTHERS IN ARMS FOR WBC TITLE

Mindanao mauler Mark John Yap has been offered the opportunity to add another title to his collection at very short notice, and has enlisted some family help before he heads to Manila. A 3x OPBF champion at 118lb in Japan, Yap is set to make an audacious bid to win the WBC Asia Lightweight title (at 135lb !) in Bangkok at the end of this month. Despite the very short time to prepare, his brother has stepped in to fast track his training for the impending WBC event. But brother Alberto Yap jr is no stranger to the sport of hard knocks  ! The  CDO local is a former amateur star, having even won the Philippines national youth title in a past life  ! Mark John Yap has really proved to be a renaissance man in recent times, and despite having to compete above his normal weight class this month, he is expected to be a huge chance to secure more silverware for the Philippines ! Yap takes on the outstanding Thai champion Apichet Petchmanee, a boxer who boasts a 15-1 record.

MARK JOHN YAP IN WBC ASIA TITLE BID

Breaking news is the announcement that Philippines Mark John Yap will fight in Bangkok later this month for the WBC Lightweight crown.

Cagayan de Oro product Yap will challenge Thailand champion Apichet Petchmanee (15-1) for the belt that he secured back in late 2022. Petchmanee has been very dominant at home, and suffered his lone points loss abroad at Korakuen Hall against the outstanding Japanese boxer Katsuya Yasuda (10-0)

Mark John Yap has been a revelation since fighting Charly Suarez in Manila one year ago. He had previously done his best work at Bantamweight and was contemplating retirement, but rose to meet Suarez at 130lb.

Despite losing that contest, Yap looked in great touch, and is unbeaten in 4 subsequent fights.

He has defied the stigma of increasing weight, but Petchmanee looms as his first serious test at 135lb.

Cagayan de Oro son Mark John Yap dominates before a third round stoppage over Bangladesh boxer Hasan Sikdar.

Elorde boxer Yap was originally scheduled to fight a high level opponent here at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino, but injuries and other fight card changes meant that featherweight Sikdar stepped up at short notice.

Great job by the Bangladesh boxer to survive early, but Yap's relaxed ring control had his rival constantly on the back foot and under a lot of pressure.

Watch for the change of gears in round three when Trainer Jetro Pabustan tells Yap to put the foot down on the accelerator and put an end to it.

ENJOY  !

YAP CONTINUES THE "JOURNEY" IN VIETNAM

Mark John Yap has proved to be one of the best performed pinoys on the international circuit in recent years, and plans to add to his imposing record on the road in Vietnam this month.

The boxer affectionately dubbed "The Journey Man", and more recently as "Fat Yap", appears on a big show at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino, amongst a strong lineup of fighters from many different countries.

Yap was impressive in winning in Manila in January, then followed up with a three month break to welcome the birth of his first child Yuri. He has slowly worked back into fight shape, and performed in an exhibition bout in Ho Chi Minh City last month.

And it was trademark Yap !

Despite getting off to a slow start, Mark John Yap proved too physical for national youth boxer Nguyễn Hà Minh, dropping him twice in the final round.

Yap will be looking for an emphatic showing on July 15th, before eyeing off bigger matches later this year.

MARK JOHN YAP IN MANILA WORKOUT

MIndanao's boxing legend Mark John Yap is showing no signs of slowing, and will be back in the ring again at a big international event in Vietnam next month.

Yap considered retirement after returning from Japan, which was shortly followed by the pandemic - but was coaxed to lace up one more time in a WBA Title match with Charly Suarez.

His performance was outstanding,  and he followed it up with two quality wins shortly after.

The Journey Man was on a short break since January, after welcoming the birth of baby daughter Yuri, and he put on some kilos in that time.

Yap has been on a six week training camp, and competed in an exhibition bout last month with Vietnam youth team member Nguyễn Hà Minh. Despite looking "rusty" early in the match, he dropped his opponent twice in the final round to etch an impressive victory.

Having just recently arriving in Manila, Yap has been under the tutelage of Jetro Pabustan, who put him through a pads session today.

Mark John Yap will fight at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino in Vietnam on Saturday July 15th. You can watch the match here live.

MARK JOHN YAP STUNS IN VIETNAM WIN

MARK JOHN YAP STUNS IN VIETNAM WIN

Mindanao's Mark John Yap wound back the clock in Ho Chi Minh City tonight, with a brutal display over national team prospect Nguyễn Hà Minh.

Yap was returning from a couple of months break from the sport, celebrating the birth of his first daughter Yuri early this year. It was noted at the weigh-in for the Lightweight 61kg clash, that Yap looked a little soft next to his taller and ripped Vietnam opponent.

The Journey Man was given a warm reception by the crowd, who were divided as to how a pro veteran would match up with the slick Vietnam boxer in a highly paced 4 round format.

Nguyễn Hà Minh is only 20 years of age, but is a highly touted member of the Vietnam team,

He is tall, and boxes with beautiful range, has fast hands, and he seamlessly angles between stances to land counters with ridiculous ease.

The first two rounds were arguably won by the local star. The Philippines Yap pressed constantly, but his timing and distance were a little off, and Minh often punished his enterprise with counters.

Despite being outlanded, Yap was undeterred, and always looked significantly dangerous.

Cracks started to appear in the armour of the Vietnam star in the third, as Yap began to find his range, and the momentum shifted noticeably. The Journey Man was walking through Minh's efforts with impunity, and was really chopping his rival to the body. Yap was relentless, and went "old school" brutal in the final round, where he dropped his Vietnam opponent with sadistic attacks to the torso. Nguyễn Hà Minh stoicism saw him meet the final bell, yet had it been a longer bout, the stoppage was perilously near.

Mark John Yap was simply devastating tonight, and produced such a dominant performance on foreign soil, that he was hailed as the winner by unanimous decision.

It was a credible showing by hot national team member Nguyễn Hà Minh, and he acknowledged that Yap's strength and experience overwhelmed him in the home stretch. He will benefit a lot from his encounter with a hardened professional.

But the big news is - YAP IS BACK  !  

The evergreen killer from Cagayan de Oro will return to the ring in a big, soon to be announced fight, this coming July.

YAP CUT FROM DIFFERENT CLOTH

Cagayan de Oro star Mark John Yap has seen just about everything in a professional career dating back to 2007.

The career traverses 16 years, multiple weight classes and countries, and 32 wins that include many prestigious regional honors such as 3 OPBF straps.

But what has characterized Yap, and remains omnipresent, is that the guy is at the core, a surgical serial killer.

He knows how to inflict damage - and he excels at the task !

Mark John Yap ventures to Ho Chi Minh City next Saturday, where he takes on Vietnam national team star Nguyễn Ha Minh.

Minh is a heavier weight class boxer, but you can be sure, this will make precious little difference to Yap.

Brutality is his game !

NGUYỄN VĂN DUONG BACK IN THE SADDLE!

Philippines Mark John Yap heads to Vietnam next month to tackle the very deadly Nguyễn Văn Duong.

Yap is a winner of 32 bouts and is Philippines #2 behind Charly Suarez.

Nguyễn Văn Duong is Vietnam's first Olympics representative since 1988. He lost in the round of 16 to the Mongolian pro who damaged Ryan Garcia in sparring for Gervonta Davis.

Vietnam Champion NGUYỄN VĂN DUONG takes on Philippines Mark John Yap in Saigon - May 2023

Vietnam's best boxer Nguyễn Văn Duong will meet Philippines champion Mark John Yap in an exhibition bout at VSP Gym in HCMC on May 27th.

The Vietnam star will likely be in excellent fitness for the proposed match, after havingthe benefits competing at the SEA Games in early May.

Philippines killer Mark John Yap will visit Vietnam  for a training camp at VSP Gym, in preparation for a big fight this coming July. The winner of an incredible 32 professional bouts, Yap is a 3x OPBF champion in Japan, a country where he was unbeaten for three years prior to the pandemic. Mark John Yap is a dangerous task for the Vietnam fighter. His most recent win was in January, where he jumped two weight divisions and savagely knocked out the very durable Leonardo Doronio.

SAY WHAT ? MARK JOHN YAP IN VIETNAM ?

DUONG TO BATTLE PHILIPPINES CHAMP ?

Vietnam's premier fighter Nguyễn Văn Duong hasn't seen much ring time since the Olympics, and will make a return for the SEA Games in early May. But his lack of recent competition has many wondering if the Bac Ninh boxer still has what it takes to fight at the highest level.

Philippines champion Mark John Yap will visit Vietnam in May for a training camp, and former 3X OPBF titleholder is open to working with the local talent while he is here.

A winner of 32 professional fights, Yap tore the heart out of Japan's feared Bantamweight division,  going unbeaten in 10 fights over a 3 year period. His most recent fight was in January of this year, where he jumped two weight classes and knocked out former Manny Pacquiao sparring mate Leonardo Doronio.

Asked whether he would be open to an exhibition bout whilst he is in Vietnam, potentially against a killer like Nguyễn Văn Duong, the Philippines star smiled and said :

" Sure, why not, it sounds like a lot of fun ! Let's make it happen !! "

MARK JOHN YAP BACK TO SCHOOL
March 8, 2023

MARK JOHN YAP BACK TO SCHOOL

Cagayan de Oro fight legend Mark John Yap had a busy start to the new year.

Yap finished 2022 with a torrid exhibition bout in Ho Tram Vietnam, followed up shortly after with an explosive win in Manila against hard man Leonardo Doronio. But amongst the close scheduling of fights, he also experienced the blessing of the birth of his baby daughter Yuri.

The Yap family took some much needed "down time" and this week, the Mindanao star has resumed light training again.

It is expected that fans will see Mark John Yap back in the ring perhaps late April or early May.

Can't wait  !!!

THE YAP DOG IS BITING IN 2O23
February 9, 2023

THE YAP DOG IS BITING IN 2O23

Mark John Yap opened his new year account in stunning fashion, scoring a stoppage win over what appeared to be a very good version of Philippines Lightweight Leonardo Doronio.

Unable to secure a suitable 130 opponent for his first hitout of the year, Yap opted to jump a weight class and get a physical exam with the vastly experienced and durable Doronio.

It was very noticeable at the weigh-in, that aside from being the much larger boxer, Leonardo Doronio was in the best physical shape that he has been in for a very long time.

And he performed very well, while it lasted, and we look forward to seeing Doronio back again this year to see what he can produce.

But for Mark John Yap, it really was a patient yet lethal execution of a necessary task, and certainly showed shades of the brutality that he inflicted on Japan's best fighters prior to the pandemic.

Watch the full fight here, and you will see this dog has got a bite worse than his bark.

Yap Yap !

THE WARRIORS
January 31, 2023

THE WARRIORS

Leonardo Doronio and Mark John Yap were the two most experienced boxers to grace the ring at REVOLUTION yesterday.

Both boxers looked in great shape, and it was very definitely the best version of Doronio we have seen in recent fights.

He pumped out skillful jabs that forced Yap to change position in the early rounds, and looked very comfortable in defense. Doronio also looked more dynamic than he has in a long while, and always looked dangerous. Based on yesterday's performance, Leonardo Doronio has a lot more wins in store.

Mark John Yap, superlatives often fall short, but his skills and killer were again to the fore.

Watch carefully how he set up that hook.

Bravo to Yap - bring on 2023 !

YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE TAG ON KNOWLEDGE
January 29, 2023

YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE TAG ON KNOWLEDGE

With near 100 professional fights between them, Leonardo Doronio and Mark John Yap qualify as the two most experienced performers at tomorrow's REVOLUTION event in Parañaque.

"Toto" Doronio has chalked up 18 wins, and was formerly a main sparring partner to boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. He was an impressive winner against Jimmy Borbon, before showing all his ring guile in dealing with a very offensive Arnel Baconaje.

Mark John Yap's deeds in Japan prior to the pandemic are legendary. It's accurate to say that he shredded some of that country's very best fighters in perhaps their strongest weight class.

His return to the Philippines with excellent showings against Charly Suarez and Junior Kauko Raka were ominous signs that foreshadow a big 2O23.

These boys are quality, and the 135 works in favour of Doronio. Don’t miss this tomorrow.

VSP champ Nguyễn Văn Hải had no troubles making today's "catchweight" for tomorrow's big event in Vung Tau.

Nguyễn Văn Hải 60.2kg was just slightly in advance of opponent Xiao Tao Su 60.1kg for at the weigh-in for their 10 round clash tomorrow.

Former national champion Hải (4-1) will have his hands full with his more credentialed Chinese rival (11-2) and a two times regional belt winner.

CHARLY SUAREZ MEETS THE PRESIDENT

Philippines star boxer was celebrated by none other than President BongBong Marcos today at an awards ceremony in Manila.

Also acknowledged for their outstanding achievements were world champion boxers Melvin Jerusalem and Marlon Tapales.

THIS IS THE FIGHT THAT "MUST" HAPPEN !!!

THIS IS THE FIGHT THAT "MUST" HAPPEN !!!

Charly Suarez recently ventured to Australia to take on a man who VSP regarded as that country's best 130lb fighter - Paul "Showtime" Fleming.

The match was as exciting and dramatic as expected, with Suarez clinching victory courtesy of a last round knockout.

But despite the quality of that encounter, there are those in Australia less than convinced.

The feedback was that perhaps Fleming was "faded", that maybe Suarez got lucky, with even some there referring to the Philippines' best as a "cab driver !"

The overwhelming sentiment is that these two great fighters would be no match for a younger and more powerful Liam Wilson.

Queensland star Liam Wilson was responsible for the knockout of former top Philippines 130lb Joe Noynay, and despite a loss, consolidated his fearsome reputation with a cracking display against Emanuel Navarrete just recently.

In an ominous show of power, Wilson rag dolled Navarrete and became the first man in the world to drop the staunch WBO champ.

Impressive stuff, and for Wilson, there are surely big wins ahead.

But Charly Suarez is far and away the best boxer in the Philippines right now, so for Wilson, he represents another significant but exciting challenge.

So how about it NO LIMIT,  

let's fight our two roosters and let's see who comes out victorious !!!!

This is a huge fight for Australia, and for sure, for betting shops, as everyone in the Philippines will be putting their cash on the "cab driver" from Davao !

Philippines Romeo Tenorio Jr looked primed and ready at today's weigh in Vietnam for THE RISING STARS show.

"Yong" from the Elorde Davao stable has always shown ability, and his first outing after the pandemic, his win over Julius Bala was a promising return.

Gun Kim is a promising and rangy South Korean, who is 2-1 but perhaps unlucky not to be unbeaten. His loss to Jae Young Kim was by split decision, yet most good judges agree that he should have been awarded the victory.

The match is the first international foray for Romeo Tenorio, and is a great opportunity for the Philippines fighter to secure his 9th win.

"Every opportunity to fight is a blessing for me. I like to show my skills, and now that I am learning the differences of professional boxing, I also like to show my power.

I have had many fights in different sports, also in amateur boxing. I know to respect all opponents, because they have trained hard to win also. But I also know how to be ruthless, and the China fighter will find out next Saturday what it feels like to face a Vietnam fighter. I wish him good luck! "

HITMAN VOWS TO PUNISH CHINESE RIVAL

Nguyễn Văn Hải is revered as perhaps the most experienced multi discipline fighter in Vietnam  - but he also lays claims to being pound for pound the strongest !

A man with a passion for physical fitness, Nguyễn Văn Hải went for close to three years without a boxing match, all the time training young pupils in Hanoi in various fight techniques. But a return to the ring last year in Manila against Jerald Into rekindled his love for the sport, and he has since scored two impressive pro wins.

VSP Boxing star Hải will be fighting the main undercard bout  in Ho Tram Vietnam next weekend,  and will be joined by young Philippines prospect Romeo "Yong" Tenorio, who gets his first taste of competition on foreign soil.

Nguyễn Văn Hải (4-1) takes on resuming top Chinese prospect Xiao Tao Su (11-2) over 8 rounds in what should be a thriller.

Asked his feelings on the bout, Hải was very enthusiastic:

" I am very excited to be able to do what I love once more. Each match for me is a gift.

I respect all opponents, but I plan to give him a welcome to Vietnam that the fans will love !

I know I will hurt him and plan to finish him "

The Aussie champ put four titles on the line, and a world title eliminator was also up for grabs.

In what was a cracking contest, Fleming brought all his trademark energy and flair. The man known as "Showtime" is renowned for making great fights, his previous effort having been voted Australia's best of the year in 2022.

Suarez waits for notification from the Fleming team as to whether they wish to option a rematch clause in their contract.

Tenorio has been called in at late notice to battle Gun Kim, a young boxer with a 2 win and 1 loss record. The promising Korean had his original combatant succumb to injury, and Romeo has answered the call.

Yong was starting to put it together in the pro ranks, winning 4 of his last 5 bouts prior to a three year break courtesy of the pandemic. But he resumed in promising fashion in October 2022, beating Julius Bala by unanimous decision, and will be looking to impress in his foreign debut later this month.

HO TRAM VIETNAM BOUTS THIS APRIL 22

Philippines boxer Romeo Tenorio is rumoured to fight in Vietnam this month, with a bout against South Korean Gun Kim in the offing. The match will be in the 115 lb class, and will be Tenorio's first since October last year, when he beat Julias Bala by unanimous decision. Gun Kim is a fighter of promise, with a 2 win 1 loss career record.

Vietnam's most experienced fighter Nguyễn Văn Hải is set to take on China's Yongcai Liu in the Lightweight 61kg category.

The VSP Boxing star from Hanoi has won 4 bouts since turning professional, and is hoping a win against his Chinese opponent will fast track him in the rankings.

Yongcai Liu is a winner of 6 fights, but has not been active since the pandemic,  so it will be interesting to see what level he is at. The Chinese boxer showed a lot of ability earlier in his career, where Top Rank sponsored him to go to America and learn with their boxers and training staff.

The match will be over 8 rounds and will be the main undercard at The Grand Ho Tram on Saturday April 22nd.

Here is Nguyễn Văn Hải's last fight at Ho Tram in December 2022, where he knocked out unbeaten Indonesian Paisal Panjaitan.

A lot of people are really looking forward to this main undercard match between unbeaten hotshot Jonniel Laurente and the vastly experienced Pablito Canada.

VSP have a huge opinion of Canada, who has always stepped up at late notice and performed great against the very best fighters in the Philippines. Pablito Canada endorsed our opinion when he traveled to the General Santos City base of unbeaten star Michael Casama, and handed him his first loss by way of stunning KO.

There is no doubt that JL Laurente has a lot of potential, but the question remains, has he taken on too much top early by stepping in with the way more experienced Pablito Canada  ??

Expect this to be one of the best fights all day !!

Lots of great fights in Pangasinan this Thursday, but especially excited for these main three.

Benny Ligas and Genisis Libranza have genuine claims to being the Philippines best Flyweight, as their records attest. This one is impossible to pick the winner with any confidence.

Jonniel Laurente is unbeaten, but he jumps hugely in class when he meets Pablito Canada, a guy that has delivered great performances at the very highest level. Canada has been in with JonJon Estrada, Richard Pumicpic and no less than Charly Suarez in recent bouts. And let's not forget that he also had a huge KO win over top unbeaten prospect Michael Casama not long ago  - so this is a huge task for Laurente and one that will be a fantastic contest.

RoyRoy Sumugat and Richard Bulacan are two of the Philippines very best when they are "on", and be in zero doubt, both these guys will be prepped for killer performances this Thursday in Pangasinan.

Trần Quang Lộc thắng điểm

Trần Quang Lộc thắng điểm đồng thuận trước Bùi Việt Hoàng tại hạng cân 61kg

Màn so găng hấp dẫn từ hai võ sỹ đã giành thành tích tốt ở giải trẻ quốc gia và đặc biệt đến từ hai đội boxing kình địch là Hà Nội và Quân đội. Đây cũng là trận đấu cuối của sự kiện VSP Pro 3 và hai võ sỹ đã mang đến bầu không khí phấn khích khi chủ động nhập cuộc tích cực và liên tục trao đổi đòn.

Tốc độ, lối di chuyển linh hoạt và cách tung ra combo đòn 1-2 đặc trưng là lợi thế của Quang Lộc. Trong khi đó Việt Hoàng cho thấy sự chủ động trong tiếp cận, duy trì cự ly áp sát và tung ra những đòn đấm vòng bằng cả hai tay đạt độ chuẩn xác cao.

Cả 3 hiệp đầu thế trận không hoàn toàn nghiêng về tay đấm nào. Tốc độ cực nhanh cùng những màn trao đổi đòn liên tụ của hai võ sỹ khiến khán giả hưng phấn. Trong hiệp đấu cuối cùng Việt Hoàng phần nào ghi điểm với 2 tình huống đấm móc trúng đích lợi hại. Những bước di chuyển ngẫu hứng trước khi ra đòn của Việt Hoàng cũng khiến Quang Lộc khó phán đoán để phòng thủ tốt.

Khép lại một trận đấu căng thẳng, màn công bố kết quả cũng "nóng" không kém khi Quang Lộc được cả 3 trọng tài chấm điểm cao hơn và đồng nghĩa với chiến thắng đồng thuận cho tay đấm trẻ của Quân Đội. Kết quả này rõ ràng đã khiến Việt Hoàng và BHL Hanoi Boxing Academy ngạc nhiên. Đáng tiếc cho Việt Hoàng bởi ở sự kiện VSP Pro 2 anh cũng đã thi đấu tốt nhưng chỉ có 1 kết quả hòa đồng thuận trước Phan Minh Quân.

Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng điểm

Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng điểm

63,5kg: Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận trước Hà Minh TuấnTrận so găng thú vị giữa những tay đấm ở hai thế hệ. Nguyễn Văn Hải là tay đấm cựu trào từng vô địch quốc gia nhiều năm và giành huy chương quốc tế. Còn Hà Minh Tuấn đến từ Hanoi Boxing Academy từng giành HCB giải các CLB, HCV giải trẻ và thắng 1 trận ở sự kiện VSP Pro.Trận đấu này rất được chờ đợi nhưng thực tế trên ring Văn Hải đã nhanh chóng tỏ rõ bản lĩnh kinh nghiệm dày dạn và sức nặng cú đấm vượt trội đàn em. Một đòn đấm vòng tay phải uy lực của Văn Hải và serie đòn ngay sau đó tưởng như đã kết liễu trận đấu ngay trong hiệp 1.Cũng phải dành cho Minh Tuấn lời khen khi tay đấm trẻ từ Hà Nội đã trụ vững thêm 2 hiệp đấu dù bị đàn anh dồn ép và liên tục hứng đòn từ những cú móc, jab và body-shot như búa bổ của Văn Hải. Bước sang hiệp cuối cùng, Minh Tuấn có thêm 2 tình huống jab và đấm vòng ấn tượng, nhưng sự chênh lệch vẫn nghiêng hẳn về Văn Hải.Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận cho tay đấm 35 tuổi Văn Hải. Theo tiết lộ ở cuộc phỏng vấn sau trận, Văn Hải sẽ nỗ lực tập luyện để chuẩn bị cho 1 trận tranh đai vô địch vào cuối năm nay.

Huỳnh Thị Vũ Duyên thắng điểm

Huỳnh Thị Vũ Duyên thắng điểm

Huỳnh Thị Vũ Duyên có chiến thắng trước Hoàng Thùy Linh trong trận đấu nữ duy nhất tại VSP Pro 3

Huỳnh Duyên nhập cuộc chủ động, tích cực ra đòn và cũng đạt hiệu quả tốt hơn hẳn võ sỹ trẻ 17 tuổi Thùy Linh đến từ Hanoi Boxing Academy. Những combo đòn 1-2 và đòn đấm móc của Huỳnh Duyên giúp cô ghi điểm. Ngược lại, Thùy Linh dù sở hữu chiều cao tốt 1,7m nhưng tỏ ra chậm chạp và ra đòn thiếu hiệu quả.

Bước sang hiệp 2 Thùy Linh chủ động tạo ra sức ép khi tiếp cận và liên tục ra combo đòn đấm móc bằng cả hai tay. Tuy vậy, độ sát thương không đạt mấy hiệu quả khi Huỳnh Duyên phòng thủ tốt. Thậm chí tổ hợp đòn chuẩn xác của Huỳnh Duyên còn giúp cô ghi điểm cuối hiệp. Rõ ràng, tay đấm từng giành HCV Cup CLB, HCV giải trẻ, Huỳnh Duyên vẫn vượt trội.

Kịch bản trận đấu không thay đổi ở những hiệp còn lại khi Huỳnh Duyên với sự linh hoạt trong di chuyển và kết hợp combo đòn tốt hơn tiếp tục ghi điểm với những cú đấm nặng ký chuẩn xác. Kết thắng điểm đồng thuận (3-0) cho Huỳnh Duyên trước Thùy Linh, tay đấm từng giành HCĐ giải trẻ 2020 là hoàn toàn thuyết phục.

Võ Lê Trung Long thắng điểm
March 25, 2023

Võ Lê Trung Long thắng điểm

Võ Lê Trung Long thắng điểm đồng thuận trước Nguyễn Quí Thịnh tại hạng 63,5 kg sự kiện VSP Pro 3

Trung Long bắt đầu bằng những cú jab tay trái cực nhanh và sau đó là combo đòn đấm móc suýt chút nữa đã tạo ra khác biệt. Tuy vậy, tay đấm Quý Thịnh cũng rất biết cách phản đòn khi bị đối thủ dồn ép. Hiệp 1 cả hai võ sỹ đều tích cực ra đòn nhưng sự vượt trội rất khó phân định.

Bước sang hiệp 2, Trung Long bắt đầu tỏ rõ sự nhỉnh hơn. Combo đòn đấm móc bằng cả hai tay và cú jab của tay đấm này khiến Quý Thịnh dính những đòn nặng nề. Thế nên dù có 1 tình huống phản đòn hiệu quả thì hiệp đấu này Quý Thịnh vẫn lép vế thấy rõ.

Khá bất ngờ khi hiệp 3 Trung Long dính vết cắt nhỏ bị chảy máu ở đuôi mắt phải. Ở hiệp đấu này dù không vượt trội nhưng Quý Thịnh lại tạo ra 3 tình huống ra đòn tay sau hiệu quả. Trong khi đó Trung Long sau nửa đầu hiệp phần nào bị ảnh hưởng bởi vết rách ở đuôi mắt đã tìm lại nhịp thi đấu và có 1 cú jab hiệu quả ở nửa cuối hiệp.

Sang hiệp đấu cuối cùng Quý Thịnh xuống sức thấy rõ, anh gần như không có đòn nào hiệu quả. Ngược lại tay đấm từ Bình Dương boxing team, Trung Long đã tìm lại được sự kiểm soát như 2 hiệp đầu và tung ra những đòn đấm móc cực nặng. Ở những giây cuối cùng Quý Thịnh chỉ còn biết chống đỡ hoặc chủ động giữ khoảng cách né đòn. May mắn cho tay đấm đến Manny Boxing Cần Thơ khi anh tránh được kết quả bị knock-down.

Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận (3-0) cho Trung Long hoàn toàn xứng đáng.

Vũ Văn Hải thắng điểm
March 25, 2023

Vũ Văn Hải thắng điểm

Thái Hoàng Huy gây ấn tượng ở VSP Pro 2 với chiến thắng TKO, nhưng đối thủ tối nay của anh là võ sỹ kỳ cựu 34 tuổi từng tập nhiều môn võ và đã thi đấu ở giải võ thuật tổng hợp Lion Championship 2022, Vũ Văn Hải. Lối di chuyển khá ngẫu hứng và combo trả đòn bằng những cú đấm móc và đấm vòng của Văn Hải khiến Hoàng Huy rất khó tiếp cận và thậm chí còn dính đòn.

Hiệp 2 mọi thứ trở nên tốt hơn cho Hoàng Huy khi anh có 1 cú phản đòn tay sau và 1 cú đấm vòng chuẩn xác. Dù có phần ức chế vì lối di chuyển và động tác khiêu khích từ Văn Hải nhưng rõ ràng Hoàng Huy đạt hiệu quả ra đòn tốt hơn ở hiệp đấu này.

Tình huống đáng chú ý ở hiệp 3 đó là Văn Hải chủ động khiêu khích, nhưng anh lại hớ hênh hạ cả hai tay thõng xuống và nhanh chóng dính combo đòn của Hoàng Huy. Ở hiệp đấu này Văn Hải tiếp tục bị trọng tài nhắc nhở thái độ thi đấu cũng như ra đòn phạm quy khi dùng mu bàn tay. Cả hai đều có thêm những cú đấm móc thành công, nhưng không ai tỏ ra vượt trội ở hiệp này.

Ở hiệp đấu cuối cùng Hoàng Huy ghi thêm điểm với 1 tình huống jab hiệu quả, nhưng võ sỹ trẻ này cũng tỏ rõ sự ức chế và quá khích trước lối đánh của đối thủ. Thêm một hiệp đấu không có đột biến và kết quả cũng mang đến sự bất ngờ đôi chút khi Văn Hải thắng điểm không đồng thuận (2-1). Đây là chiến thắng đầu tiên của Vũ Văn Hải trên sàn boxing pro.

Nguyễn Hoàng Thắng thắng điểm
March 25, 2023

Nguyễn Hoàng Thắng thắng điểm

Nguyễn Hoàng Thắng thắng điểm đồng thuận trước Nguyễn Thành Phong ở  hạng 67kg VSP Pro 3.

Thành Phong tiếp cận chủ động và có đòn đấm móc hiệu quả trong hiệp 1, nhưng Hoàng Thắng cũng rất nhanh tìm cách điều chỉnh cự ly khoảng cách để giảm sự hưng phấn cũng như sự nguy hiểm từ đối thủ.

Hiệp đấu thứ 2 không có nhiều đột biến mà tốc độ của trận đấu chỉ được đẩy lên cao ở hiệp 3 với những pha chủ động ra đòn của Hoàng Thắng. Tay đấm đến từ Hà Nội từng vô địch giải Boxing trẻ và giải CLB quốc gia đã phần nào cho thấy kinh nghiệm bằng những tình huống di chuyển hiệu quả và tung ra những đòn đấm móc chất lượng.

Trong hiệp đấu cuối cùng ưu thế nghiêng rõ rệt hơn về Hoàng Thắng. Một trong số những cú đấm móc uy lực của Hoàng Thắng đã khiến Thành Phong dính đòn khá nặng. Nỗ lực dồn ép và ra đòn của Thành Phong giảm rõ rệt sự hiệu quả vì thiếu sự đột biến và bị đối thủ bắt bài..

Chung cuộc Hoàng Thắng được cả 3 trọng tài chấm điểm nhỉnh hơn và thắng tuyệt đối trước Thành Phong.

Trần Tấn Quang Đạo đã có chiến thắng

Trần Tấn Quang Đạo đã có chiến thắng

Trần Tấn Quang Đạo đã có chiến thắng đồng thuận trước Trần Ngọc Phương Hiếu trong trận mở màn VSP Pro 3.

Đòn tay sau, đấm móc, và cả những cú body-shot của Quang Đạo tiếp tục đạt hiệu quả cực tốt. Không ngạc nhiên khi võ sỹ kinh nghiệm hơn, tuân thủ tốt chiến thuật của BHL đã giành chiến thắng với điểm số tuyệt đối 3-0. Xin chúc mừng Trần Tấn Quang Đạo với chiến thắng đầu tiên trên sàn Boxing Pro, sau 3 lần thượng đài

CHARLY SUAREZ READY FOR WORLD TITLE

CHARLY SUAREZ READY FOR WORLD TITLE

VSP boxers Charly Suarez and Nguyễn Văn Hải are arguably the best fighters that their respective countries have ever produced.

The two are friends from their days as national team amateurs, and they even fought in an exhibition mstch at Victory8 in Hanoi in 2019.

Last night in Sydney, Charly Suarez moved a step closer to his world title dream with a knockout win over Australian Paul "Showtime" Fleming, an unbeaten star unbeaten in 28 fights.

Nguyễn Văn Hải is rapidly climbing in the professional ranks also. The "Hanoi Hitman" has 3 wins, and will be looking to add to his tally at VSP PRO on Saturday March 25th.

SUAREZ VOWS TO GO ALL OUT ON FLEMING

SUAREZ VOWS TO GO ALL OUT ON FLEMING

*story courtesy of Manila Standard

Former Olympian Charly Suarez has vowed to go all out against fellow undefeated Paul Fleming of Australia in their International Boxing Organization super featherweight title bout on Wednesday in Sydney, Australia.

"Pambihira lang itong ganitong pagkakataon. Ito na talaga chance ko,” said Suarez, who at 34 cannot afford to be delayed any longer in his quest for a world boxing title. “Ang totoo kong kalaban is sarili ko. Kahit saang larangan, malaking part ‘yung maturity. Iba ka nang mag-isip kaysa dati.”

“Basta ako lalaban ako at dapat makuha ko ito. Ito na ‘yung level ng mindset ko ngayon. ‘Di ko na pakakawalan, wala ng excuse,” added Suarez, a former Filipino Olympian, who spent most of his boxing career as a national athlete.

After beating all his first 14 opponents, eight of them via stoppage, Suarez is facing his toughest test in his two-year professional boxing career—a taller foe, who has 29 wins with 18 knockouts and without a defeat.

Suarez’s manager and coach Delfin Boholst said they have done everything in their training camp to make Charly stronger than ever.

“Makikita natin si Charly may edad na pero, ‘yung body niya sariwa. Sa laban makikita niyo talaga ‘yung ginawa namin na preparation ni Charly,” he said.

Without the backing of a moneyed manager and promoter, Suarez’s camp turned to friends and supporters for their needs. Some of those who answered their plea for support were former Philippine National Police chief Gen. Debold Sinas and businessman-philanthropist Edward Aguilar.

Sinas and Aguilar, who are close friends and partners in several business ventures, provided financial support for training and other needs of Suarez.

Suarez is coming off a big conquest of the International Boxing Federation Asia junior lightweight title with a technical knockout win over Defry Palulu of Indonesia at the Grand Ho Tram Hotel in Vietnam last Dec. 10.

Two months earlier, the many-time Southeast Asian Games champion decisioned compatriot Carlo Magali to successfully defend the World Boxing Association Asia Super Featherweight title.

As an amateur, Suarez won three Southeast Asian Games golds—two in the lightweight division (2011 Jakarta, 2019 Manila) and one in the featherweight category (2009 Laos)—plus a bronze in 2017 in Kuala Lumpur.

Meanwhile, the left-handed Fleming said he won’t be underestimating Suarez as he has set a fight strategy that suits him against a smaller opponent.

“If Suarez comes at me, I have a counter-punching strategy, and if he stays away then I will come at him,” the Australian said.

FLEMING TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME
March 13, 2023

FLEMING TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME

story courtesy BoxingTalk.com

Australia’s undefeated indigenous boxer Paul Fleming is on a mission to win his next three fights and set up the opportunity to capture a 130-pound title. After years of low activity (three fights since the start of 2019), Fleming's next step takes place in St. Marys, Sydney on March 15th when he faces undefeated Filipino challenger Charly Suarez. Fleming comes from the small town of Tully in outback northern Australia where he first started boxing at age 12 in 2001.

Fleming (29-0-1) finds himself carrying on the tradition of past Australian indigenous boxers such as Aboriginal boxing legend Lionel Rose who unified the world titles (1964-76), superstar rugby league players and champions of the boxing ring Tony Mundine and his son Anthony Mundine Jr., Dave Sands inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame as “the greatest boxers never to have won a world title”, 2005 world champion Robert Peden, Wally Carr, who competed in six divisions over a stellar fifteen-year career, and Daniel Geale who won two titles before losing to Gennady Golovkin at Madison Square in 2014.

While Fleming takes  confidence from his unbeaten streak, he accepts as “a matter of fact” that he has been ignored on the international stage. “By now I should have become a world champion. I see it as the way of the boxing world, and the cards didn’t fall my way. But I feel my destiny is in the winning circle, as the coming world champion.“

As for Suarez (14-0), Fleming says, “Suarez, like me, hasn’t been beaten. This is where our paths come together – here in Sydney – and I am ready.”

The left-handed Fleming said he won’t be underestimating Suarez, who is 34 years old and almost 4 inches shorter in size. “All my fights have been about fighting with a winning strategy,” he asserts. “If Suarez comes at me I have a counter punching strategy, and if he stays away then I will come at him.”

Fleming has spent several months sparring with top Aussies, including the Maloney brothers. “Neither of us held back while sparring.” he said after some competitive rounds with Andrew Moloney.

But Fleming knows that the window is closing for him to win a world title. "What’s been so good for me in boxing is that I have not been beaten, not once. I haven’t been bashed, and I have gained a lot of experience. I’ve fought against the best in Australia and now it’s time to break out and take on the best in the world... after this the world title will be one big step closer.”
