One of the most promising and exciting boxers in Vietnam. Duong is a dynamic puncher and has boxing skills to match. His style is perfectly suited to the professional arena where he will thrive on the biggest challenges. Nguyen Van Duong is unbeaten in previous Victory 8, and won his first pro match in Korea delivering a violent beating to his opponent.
October 19th, 2019 brought another major challenge. He faced another big and classy opponent, Jenel Lausa, a powerful Philippines pro boxer who also compete in UFC. Against all odds, Duong out maneuvered his powerful opponent to claim a victory that shocked those in the Philippines.
Nguyễn Văn Đương vừa có chiến thắng 4-0 trước võ sĩ Nepal Lama Buddha Gyamjo, qua đó vào vòng trong gặp ĐKVĐ thế giới Abdumalik Khalokov (Uzbekistan).
Sở dĩ Đương thắng 4-0 bởi có trọng tài chấm 28-28, trong khi cũng có trọng tài chấm 25-30, 26-30...

2 tuyển thủ boxing Phước Tùng và Minh Cường cùng show ảnh tryhard từ Thái Lan, trong chuyến tập huấn cuối cùng trước khi lên đường tới Hàng Châu, Trung Quốc tranh tài ASIAD 19.
Đây là cách các thành viên đội tuyển boxing gửi lời chúc mừng lễ Quốc Khánh 2/9. Với họ nhiệm vụ quốc gia là thiêng liêng, được sống và chiến đấu cho màu cờ sắc áo là vinh dự.
Theo nguồn tin của iThethao.vn, đội tuyển boxing nam Việt Nam đã chốt 5 thành viên, trong đó có 1 HLV và 4 VĐV dự ASIAD 19 tại Hàng Châu, Trung Quốc vào cuối tháng 9.
1, HLV trưởng Nguyễn Anh Dũng
2, Nguyễn Minh Cường - võ sĩ hạng 51kg
3, Nguyễn Văn Đương - võ sĩ hạng 57kg
4, Bùi Phước Tùng - võ sĩ hạng 71kg
5, Nguyễn Mạnh Cường - võ sĩ hạng 80kg
Danh sách 4 võ sĩ tham dự ASIAD 19 đã thay đổi so với danh sách đi tập huấn tại Uzbekistan hồi tháng 7. Trước đó, ngoài 4 cái kể trên còn có Vũ Thành Đạt - võ sĩ hạng 65kg. Do dính chấn thương vai, Thành Đạt đã phải chấp nhận bỏ lỡ Đại hội năm nay.
Những võ sĩ nằm trong danh sách dự ASIAD 19 đều là những cái tên tốt nhất của boxing Nam Việt Nam thời điểm hiện tại. Bùi Phước Tùng là chủ nhân của tấm HCV SEA Games 32, Nguyễn Văn Đương và Nguyễn Minh Cường đều giành được huy chương trong chuyến tập huấn và thi đấu tại Uzbekistan, Nguyễn Mạnh Cường cũng cho thấy sự tiến bộ sau quãng thời gian tập luyện rất căng thẳng.
Tuyển Boxing Nam Việt Nam kết thúc chuyến tập huấn và thi đấu kéo dài 1 tháng tại Uzbekistan. Trong chuyến tập huấn, cả đội đã tham gia thi đấu giải giao hữu giữa các nước cùng tập luyện tại Uzbekistan. Nguyễn Minh Cường và Nguyễn Văn Đương lần lượt giành 1 HCB và 1 HCĐ về cho Boxing Việt Nam.
Sau khi kết thúc chuyến tập huấn này, các thành viên đội tuyển Boxing Nam Việt Nam tiếp tục chuẩn bị lên đường thi đấu giải Đài Loan mở rộng vào ngày 17/8. Giải đấu sẽ diễn ra trong 5 ngày. Sau khi kết thúc giải đấu, toàn đội sẽ tiếp tục ở lại tập luyện và trở về nước vào thời điểm cuối tháng 8.
Chia sẻ với ithethao.vn, HLV trưởng ĐT Boxing Nam Việt Nam cho biết: "Bùi Phước Tùng và Nguyễn Văn Đương là hai võ sĩ được BHL và chuyên gia đặt kỳ vọng sẽ giành huy chương ở ASIAD 19 tới."
Ở SEA Games 32 vừa qua, Bùi Phước Tùng có chiến thắng K.O cực kỳ chóng vánh trước Atichai Phoemsak - võ sĩ rất mạnh đến từ Thái Lan để giành tấm HCV hạng cân 71kg. Đáng chú ý, Phước Tùng giành được HCV ngay trong lần đầu thi đấu tại một kỳ Đại hội thể thao Đông Nam Á.
Nguyễn Văn Đương là cái tên quen thuộc của làng boxing Việt Nam. Tay đấm sinh năm 1996 là võ sĩ Việt Nam đầu tiên vào đến vòng 16 tay đấm ở olympic. Với kinh nghiệm thi đấu quốc tế dày dặn, Văn Đương được xem là niềm hy vọng lớn nhất của Boxing nam Việt Nam tại ASIAD 19.

Võ sỹ Olympic Nguyễn Văn Đương vừa bị trọng tài xử thua tại hiệp 3 trận đấu hạng 57 kg môn boxing SEA Games 32 và đội tuyển boxing Việt Nam đã phản ứng gay gắt với quyết định này.
Hiệp 1 chứng kiến sự máu lửa của Bautista khi anh liên tục dồn ép Văn Đương vào ring đài và tấn công đa dạng từ đấm móc sườn cho đến những đòn tầm cao. Trong khi đó Văn Đương đáp trả bằng những đòn đấm móc phải tay khá tốt.
Ở hiệp đấu kế tiếp hai võ sỹ tích cực tấn công nhiều hơn. Văn Đương chủ động ra đòn tầm xa nhằm hạn chế đối thủ áp sát tung đấm cực nặng. Còn Bautista có những đòn jab, đấm móc trúng đích khá tốt.
Kịch tính được đẩy lên ở hiệp đấu cuối khi ngay đầu hiệp trọng tài cho dừng trận đấu để bác sỹ kiểm tra "chấn thương vùng mi mắt trái" của Văn Đương. Sau đó trận đấu tiếp diễn, nhưng chỉ hơn 1 phút sau trọng tài lại yêu cầu bác sỹ kiểm tra vết thương của Văn Đương.
Lần này, bác sỹ ra dấu "VĐV không thể tiếp tục" và trọng tài cho dừng trận đấu, tuyên thắng knock-out kỹ thuật (RSC) cho tay đấm Philippines, trước sự ngỡ ngàng của Văn Đương và BHL đội tuyển boxing Việt Nam.
Tại thời điểm này, theo tìm hiểu của Webthethao, bảng điểm chung cuộc cho thấy Văn Đương đang tạm dẫn. Và nếu diễn biến vẫn giống như 2 hiệp đầu thì chiến thắng gần như chắc chắn sẽ thuộc về tay đấm của Việt Nam.
Nhưng rốt cuộc tuyên bố từ trọng tài không thể đảo chiều. Ngay trên đài, BHL ĐT boxing Việt Nam đã tỏ rõ sự thất vọng và phản ánh với trọng tài cũng như bộ phận y tế rằng "vết thương ở mí mắt của Văn Đương không hề nguy hiểm và cũng không ảnh hưởng gì tới võ sỹ này cũng như trận đấu".
Sự bức xúc tiếp tục diễn ra sau khi trận đấu kết thúc khi ĐT boxing Việt Nam tiếp phản ứng với tổ y tế, giám sát, BTC, khi đưa Nguyễn Văn Đương lại chứng minh tay đấm này "không bị chấn thương nghiêm trọng đến mức phải dừng trận đấu". Tuy nhiên, sự vụ không được giải quyết rốt ráo.
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.
VSP PRO @ VSP Boxing Gym HCMC
Saturday May 27th
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.
Mark John Yap makes a guest appearance in Vietnam next month, when he introduces local champion and Olympian Nguyễn Văn Duong to his unique brand of violence.
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 !! "
Nguyễn Văn Duong and Brazil's outstanding Esquiva Falcao are just two of the big names taking part in the "friendly" at Cocky Buffalo gym in Ho Chi Minh City today.
Falcao was a silver medallist winner at the 2012 Olympics, and has since gone on an unbeaten 30 fight winning streak as a pro. The world #14 will spar Vietnam Lightweight champ Dinh Hong Quan as part of today's exhibition.
DInh Hong Quan, Nguyễn Văn Duong, Vu Thanh Dat and many others joining Brazilian champ Esquiva Falcao in a friendly sparring day today at Cocky Buffalo gym in District 7 HCMC today.
In 2018, we were guessing they could, but we didn't really know for sure!
So we invited 5 Korean pros to Vietnam to test them out.
4 wins and 3 knockouts later, we got our answer !
Yes, they are pretty damn good!!
This Vietnam killer is Nguyen Van Duong. His Korean opponent already had 5 pro wins.
It was meant to be an exhibition where the pros teach the amateurs.
Who wants to see Duong in Manila this July make a pro debut?
More importantly, who wants to fight him?
Bên cạnh các hoạt động của Boxing bán chuyên như việc tập trung lực lượng chuẩn bị cho SEA Games 31, ASIAD 19 sẽ diễn ra trong năm 2022, phương hướng phát triển nền Boxing chuyên nghiệp Việt Nam là một trong những chủ đề được quan tâm trong thời gian trở lại đây.
Cùng với các cấp quản lý nhà nước như Bộ môn Boxing - Tổng cục Thể dục thể thao hay Liên đoàn Boxing Việt Nam, sự xuất hiện của những đơn vị tư nhân đã thổi một làn gió mới vào quá trình đào tạo các võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp. Dù vậy, để có thể thực sự tổ chức một nền boxing nhà nghề thực thụ, Boxing Việt Nam cần có những thay đổi nào. Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh, trưởng bộ môn Boxing/Kickboxing, Tổng cục Thể dục thể thao đã có những chia sẻ về vấn đề này.
PV: Trong thời gian vừa qua, Boxing Việt Nam đã chứng kiến một số lần hợp tác giữa các đơn vị quản lý nhà nước với những đơn vị tư nhân, ông đánh giá thế nào về tính hiệu quả của sự hợp tác này?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Trước đây, bộ môn cũng đã làm việc với các trung tâm đào tạo võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp, như Nguyễn Văn Đương với VSP, Trương Đình Hoàng tại Saigon Sports Club. Các vận động viên được tập trung tập huấn, thi đấu nhiều và thể lực chuyên môn tăng lên rất tốt. Về trường hợp của Thu Nhi, tôi cũng đã sang Campuchia theo dõi trận đấu tranh đai WBO Châu Á – Thái Bình Dương. Tôi đánh giá Cocky Buffalo là đơn vị rất tâm huyết trong việc đưa các võ sĩ thi đấu chuyên nghiệp.
Một số vận động viên từ đội tuyển Quốc gia cũng từng tham gia các sự kiện do Cocky Buffalo tổ chức. Trong thời gian tới khi tình hình dịch bệnh được kiểm soát, chúng tôi sẽ làm việc lại với CLB để có phương án hỗ trợ vận động viên đội tuyển tập luyện, thi đấu chuyên nghiệp tăng tính cọ xát.
PV: Theo như nguyện vọng của một số đơn vị, ông có thấy cần phải đưa ra một cơ chế hợp tác chung, thay vì các trường hợp đơn lẻ như trước đây?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Về vấn đề này, đúng là cần có một cơ chế làm việc. Ví dụ như trường hợp của võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Đương, khi kí hợp đồng với VSP để thi đấu chuyên nghiệp nhưng vẫn do đội tuyển Quốc gia quản lý. Có nhiều phương án, ví dụ như để võ sĩ kí hợp đồng thi đấu các sự kiện do công ty tổ chức nhằm tăng khả năng cọ xát. Hoặc các công ty cùng với đội tuyển chi trả lương cho võ sĩ tập luyện thi đấu song song.
PV: Lại nói về vấn đề chuyên nghiệp hóa Boxing Việt Nam trong thời gian qua, các đơn vị tư nhân cũng có tâm tư về những hạn chế trong việc phát triển Boxing chuyên nghiệp, ông có nhận định gì về vấn đề này?
Đặc biệt, trong thời gian tới, Boxing Việt Nam cần có những thay đổi gì để phù hợp với những cơ hội trước mắt?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Quả thực, Việt Nam chưa tổ chức được các giải chuyên nghiệp, những sự kiện đã xuất hiện đều do những công ty, đơn vị tư nhân tự thân thực hiện. Như VSP với Victory 8, Cocky Buffalo chủ động đưa VĐV ra nước ngoài thi đấu, cách làm này rất tốt mà theo tôi các cơ quan quản lý cũng cần chung tay thực hiện.
Trên thực tế, Liên đoàn Quyền Anh Việt Nam đã có tổ chức Ban chuyên nghiệp để thực hiện những công tác trên. Tuy nhiên trong thời gian vừa qua, Ban chuyên nghiệp theo tôi đánh giá hoạt động vẫn chưa hiệu quả và không đóng góp được gì vào công tác chuyên nghiệp hóa cho Boxing Việt Nam.
Thời gian tới, khi Liên đoàn Quyền Anh Việt Nam tổ chức kiện toàn lại bộ máy, theo tôi, ta có thể chọn ra một trong số các công ty có năng lực, tiếp xúc những Liên đoàn quốc tế để tổ chức các sự kiện chuyên nghiệp.
Tôi đã từng làm việc với một số đơn vị, nếu ta giao công tác của Ban chuyên nghiệp cho đơn vị tư nhân, họ có quyền đào tạo vận động viên, đồng thời có nhiệm vụ kêu gọi tài trợ để đầu tư cho Boxing Việt Nam. Họ cũng rất sẵn sàng với phương án này.
Khi đó, Liên đoàn và Bộ môn có thể tập trung đào tạo hệ bán chuyên, còn Ban chuyên nghiệp và công ty tư nhân sẽ đảm nhận nhiệm vụ với hệ chuyên nghiệp, bao gồm tổ chức thi đấu hoặc có thể cả tranh đai quốc tế.
Nếu tổ chức lại được bộ máy Liên đoàn Boxing Việt Nam và Ban chuyên nghiệp hoạt động đúng như tên gọi và vai trò, tôi tin các sự kiện thi đấu chuyên nghiệp sẽ được tổ chức thường xuyên hơn, tạo thêm nhiều cơ hội thi đấu cho các vận động viên.
Xin cảm ơn ông !!!
"Bộ môn đã soạn thảo chương trình tập huấn trọng điểm, thuê chuyên gia nước ngoài cho 2 VĐV Nguyễn Văn Đương và Nguyễn Thị Tâm để nhắm tới SEA Games và ASIAD để trình lên Tổng cục TDTT. Trong năm tới, các vận động viên sẽ thực hiện tập huấn dài hạn ở nước ngoài. Nguyễn Văn Đương có thể sang tập huấn tại Cuba cùng chuyên gia tại đây, với Nguyễn Thị Tâm, chúng tôi đang tính toán về chương trình tập huấn ở Nga hoặc một số nước Châu Âu – nơi có nền Boxing nữ phát triển. Về SEA Games, bộ môn cũng đã tham mưu với lãnh đạo Tổng cục, gửi công văn về các địa phương có vận động viên tiềm năng giành huy chương đề xuất đưa đi tập huấn cùng với em Tâm và em Đương trong năm sau 2022." - Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh - trưởng Bộ môn Boxing, Tổng cục TDTT, chia sẻ.

So, you are watching a boxing match and it is clear that Boxer A is getting his faced punched in by the Boxer B. After many rounds, the final bell rings and you are 100% certain that the Boxer B had won the fight but suddenly judges award the win to the Boxer A and you are left thinking "what just happened?". This post will shed some light as to how this could easily happen.
At VSP, we have our own boxing gym (VSP Boxing) where boxers under company management are trained for professional matches. We also have our own boxing promotions company (VSP Promotions). We even have our own boxing event brand called Victory8. What I am about to tell you is something which happens behind the curtains that may help you understand why some boxing matches end up favoring a boxer who you are quite sure lost the match.
To fully understand what happens, you need to put yourself in the shoe of the Boxer and his/her manager. the manager generally thinks that if the boxer has an "unbeaten" record, it will help him go up the rank. This achieves two objectives. It can lead to the manager asking more money for the boxer to fight from the promoter. Secondly, the manager is hoping that a streak of victorious matches will allow the boxer to fight for the championship title which can be quite lucrative. Depending on the country/region, a regional championship title can earn 5~10,000 USD while world title can be anywhere from 50,000~1,000,000 dollars earning per fight depending on many factors which I will post another time. So, if you are the manager for the boxer, you would think your job is to try to get the boxer to fight an opponent whom you are quite confident can be beaten. (This often leads to a terrible quality fight because it is lopsided match).
Promoter (that's us) is the company that organizes and pays for everything and everyone. Here, "everyone" includes the boxers, referees, and the judges. Now, what happens when boxers are managed by a company instead of an individual? And what if that company happens to also be the "Promoter" of an event in which those boxers fight?
Let's think about a situation whereVSP has organized a boxing event in Vietnam between our Vietnamese fighters and Thai fighters. To make the scoring "fair", VSP flies in referees & judges (R&J) from Japan, China, and the Philippines. The promoter would be paying for their flight tickets, their fees, hotel, meals, as well as transportation. Lobbying can start even before the R&J arrive in Vietnam.
How about this: The promoter upgrades the flights of R&J to a business class and personally picks them up from the airport. The promoter then put them in a nice hotel with complementary drinks and takes them out to good restaurants. There, he talks about how wonderful some of the boxers are in the event (our boxers of course). The promoter never once said who the judges should vote for but as you can see, the R&J may have started to develop a certain bias.
Did you know that R&J are often part time jobs for many? Imagine you are one of the judges invited to come to Vietnam. You are treated very well, paid well, and even taken around by the promoter for shopping. You know that some of the boxers in the event are managed by the promoter. Now, let's say the fight was a close fight, who would you favor? If you voted against the promoter's boxer, maybe you won't be invited in the next event. Perhaps your professionalism would be so solid that none of these treatments would affect your judgement but would you be able to say the same for all of your peers?
At VSP, we don't believe in setting up our boxers to win in a match. How would a boxer improve if he is fighting an opponent worse than him all the time? We think this is a remanent of the old ways. Instead, we match our fighters such that the spectators would enjoy watching! What is the point of putting up boring shit fights that nobody wants to watch? We tell all our boxers, "It is not our job to make you win. It is our job to give you worthy challengers that will push yourself to be better" The boxing world need to change and embrace a new paradigm where the focus should be putting up fights that are 50:50 and that leads to exciting fights that viewers can appreciate and thus drive more following.
Let's change the old ways and make Boxing Great Again!

The King's Warrior is a big fan of Magali but assures, if it turns into a dog fight, he equally knows how to get down and dirty.
" Team Suarez like to box smart, and we know Carlo has the power. But we are also willing to meet FIRE with FIRE !

The relentless punching machine that is Remon Basas returns this month, and matches up with rangy young southpaw Jestine Ace Tesoro.
The bout will signal a move to the heavier weight classes for Basas, but without doubt, Olivetti Gym will have him well prepared for the task. The 24 year old fighter is still very much on the improvement path, but has already racked up 6 wins, and has experienced good opponents like Delmar Pellio, Lorenz Ladrada and Franco Serafica.
The great thing that has characterized all his performances is that he always brings the heat! This kid is relentlessly working in the ring, and has a low looping style that sets up really effective body punches.
Jestine Ace Tesoro is a really promising type. He had good moments against JonJon Estrada, outgunned a very savvy Lorence Rosas, and then was narrowly beaten in Japan. But for Remon Basas, Tesoro is just another guy across the ring, and he will be bringing a bucket load of BAD BAD intentions to the party !

Mark John Yap takes on the might of Papuan hard man Junior Raka later this month in Paranaque Manila .
Yap is one of the Philippines' best internationally credentialed boxers in recent years, having amassed 30 wins and three OPBF titles on the road in Japan.
But he is experienced enough to know that you can never underestimate an opponent, and in Junior Raka, you have a nemesis with skills and a warrior heart to match.
"Raka already has a history with Pinoy boxers. He has had two big wins, and then a narrow loss to Roldan Aldea for the WBA belt, and we have a big opinion of Aldea here in the Philippines.
We know that Junior Raka will bring energy and aggression, and a love for the battle. We respect that, because we love it too! So bring it on, and we welcome you to the Philippines Mr. Raka ! "

Don't miss this iconic main event at the BATTLEFIELD show this October.
Charly Suarez is the former amateur champ and has looked flawless in his pro career so far. He has a singular intent to work to a world title opportunity.
Carlo Magali has been one of the most under estimated yet effective pinoy warriors in recent years. Known as "The Ferocious", and for good reason, he has a history of dismantling more favored fighters.
Who will get bragging rights ?

JonJon Estrada and Yushi Fujita make weight in Osaka Japan earlier today.
Fujita is a tall and rangy fighter with 9 wins, and like most of his countrymen, is strong and durable.
But Estrada carries the Equalizer, that being the sleeping pills he confidently holds in both hands, and owning a long history of violence, having "slept" 14 opponents in his 15 wins !
This is a great match up because Fujita likes to trade, and this may play directly into the sharpened claws of the man known as THE WOLVERINE !
Palawan sharp shooter Erson "the trigger" Trinidad is set to bring his all action style to Parañaque this October when he joins the BATTLEFIELD !
The promising youngster returned from a near 3 year hiatus in August, accounting for a very good fighter named Arjay Recopelacion. Whilst there were plenty of good touches from both boxers, the Puerto Princessa native gave the impression there is a lot more up his sleeve with his majority decision win.
The victory by Trinidad was his 4th as a professional, and based on the blazing hand speed he showed, expect him to come to the BATTLEFIELD all guns loaded and ready to PULL THE TRIGGER !

Love watching this guy at work.
Three times OPBF champ, and a technician with 30 wins to his name, Mark John Yap is without doubt the most experienced boxer amongst an outstanding card at the BATTLEFIELD next month.
It is a rare treat to see Yap perform on home soil, as he has fought abroad in places like Japan, USA and Dubai in recent years. He made a quick trip home in 2019, and was rewarded with an impressive Knockout win in front of adoring CDO fans. He was not sighted in the Philippines again till August of this year, when he faced the mercurial Charly Suarez in a WBA title bout. Despite a points loss, it was a near vintage Yap that impressed onlookers and Suarez himself :
" Mark fought a very clever fight. He reads the punches very well, and he shows his experience with lots of variety. He is very tough and experienced. "
Yap never has easy opponents, and in his inimitable style, takes on Papuan Warrior Junior Raka in his upcoming bout.
Raka was a feisty amateur before turning pro, and despite limited opportunities, has shown great signs. He scored two great wins over quality Pinoy Allan Vallespin, and endured a points loss over the top class Roldan Aldea in a WBA title match.
It is also well known that the "PNG PRODIGY " has 7 additional fights not listed in BoxRec, and is unbeaten with 6 knockouts. BOOM! This pride of Papua New Guinea has got guns in both hands!
This will be a colossal contest, and like any fight of Mark John Yap, we would not expect anything less!

Cagayan de Oro boxer Mark John Yap returns to Manila on Monday to ramp up preparations for his impending clash with Papua New Guinea hard man Junior "the Prodigy" Raka.
Yap had been on the international circuit for many years prior to the pandemic, and local fans have really been deprived of seeing his superb skills on home soil. His appearance at the BATTLEFIELD show next month is a huge coup, because Yap had only performed twice in the Philippines in recent history.
After a highly successful stint in Japan, which culminated in 3 OPBF titles, Yap returned briefly to his native Mindanao in 2019. While he was there, he took on the really promising fighter Ulysses Lagos, a bout that he won by impressive KO in front of a big crowd in CDO.
Yap was not seen again in the Philippines till August this year, where he engaged in a WBA belt clash with the unbeaten Charly Suarez. This was a really superb performance by Yap, and despite losing on points, endorsed that he is still at the top of his game.
It was anticipated that no matter who Mark John Yap matched up with this October, it would be a "stay busy" assignment, possibly a soft win, but then the PNG Prodigy Junior Raka threw his hat in the ring!
Raka is of short stature and powerful, and typically PNG warrior stock, a real tough SOB! And the man has skills too!
Junior Raka has accepted this challenge at really short notice, more so, he asked for it! It is super impressive stuff in a sport where many are constantly hiding out.
VSP Promotions can say emphatically that NO ONE WANTED TO FIGHT MARK JOHN YAP, so that gives you some insight to how highly regarded "the Journeyman" is at home.
But reputations count for nothing once you are in the ring and touch gloves, so DO NOT MISS THIS BOUT! Fireworks !

Benguet-based boxer Carlo Magali, the reigning Philippine Games and Amusement Board super featherweight champion, will challenge World Boxing Association Asia Charly Suarez at the Elorde Sports Complex in Parañque City on Oct. 23.
The 32-year-old Magali will again enter the ring after a two-year hiatus from boxing since capturing the Asian Boxing Federation and PGAB super featherweight belts against Al Toyogon in December 2019.
At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Magali along with fellow boxers under Highland Boxing of Igorot international boxing promoter Brico Santig, opted to stay in La Trinidad and had to look for ways to support their families, as sports promotions were prohibited.
Magali, whose boxing career has been revived by Highland Boxing, said he respects his opponent, who remains undefeated in his 12 professional bouts.
The 34-year-old Suarez of San Isidro, Davao del Norte, who represented the Philippines in the 2016 Rio Olympics, turned professional boxer in 2019, the year he captured the Philippines Mindanao Professional Boxing Federation lightweight belt.
A year later, he captured the Philippines Luzon ProBA super featherweight belt which he successfully defended against Filipino challengers.
Santig, who is actively promoting boxing events in the Middle East and other parts of Asia, travelled back to La Trinidad last week to check the training of Magali.
Magali captured the vacant Asian Boxing Federation super featherweight belt and the vacant Philippine super featherweight belt at the Manila Arena in 2019.
He clinched the belts via split decision victory against Al Toyogon in the main event of “Knockout” promoted by Santig and Darwin Miller Dep-ay of Highland Boxing and DMAD Promotions.
In June 2018, Magali failed to defend his Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation super featherweight belt to an undefeated Japanese boxer Hionori Mishiro via split decision in their 12-round championship bout in Japan. – Harley F. Palangchao
Perhaps one of the unluckiest boxers in recent months is high octane performer Jino Rodrigo. The "Silent Beast" has been the victim of multiple fight cancelations, including an international challenge in Kazakhstan. But Borat's loss is Philippines' gain, and the big news breaking today is that GAB has approved the late inclusion of Rodrigo at BATTLEFIELD UKC TIGER 2O22.
Jino Rodrigo takes on a previous opponent in Kelvin Tenorio, a fighter who he edged a points victory over back in 2018. Tenorio managed to survive onslaughts from top prospects like Jose Roda Jr and Carlo Bacaro, so this should be a really good clash.
And Jino is a MADMAN !
You will never see the Silent Beast in a boring fight - this is a guy that always tries to put the judges out of a job !
If there is a Knockout to be had, Jino Rodrigo is the man to deliver it, because he carries the sleeping pills in both hands !

Elorde Sports Centre Paranaque Manila Sunday October 23rd
Chillers, thrillers and KILLERZZZ assembled at Elorde Southbox this morning for yet another training block.
Big fights coming!!
Next event BATTLEFIELD Oct 23 in Manila
Destined to be a barnburner and likely to steal all the thunder at BATTLEFIELD this October is the Junior Raka and Mark John Yap main undercard bout.
This has all the makings of a classic showdown in Parañaque Manila, yet oddly, neither fighter has local advantages.
Junior Raka hails from Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. It's a country which is abundant in sporting talent, and where the interest in boxing is gaining momentum.
Mark John Yap is a son of Cagayan de Oro, in the southern Philippines island of Mindanao. This is arguably the most prolific location in the world for producing champion fighters - Charly Suarez and Manny Pacquiao being just two of the recent alma mater.
Mark John Yap is currently the Philippines #2 rated 130, and judging by what we saw recently against WBA champion Suarez, that looks accurate. Yap was simply outstanding despite defeat.
Junior Raka is really up against it, but that's the way he likes it. A quality amateur with plenty of firepower, the PNG Prodigy jumped at the chance to fight Yap at very short notice. Despite his recent inactivity, expect the PNG banger to bring pressure, and lots of it! He knows how to cut the ring, has nice timing, and can really find the target.
This is a fight deserving of main event status. Do not miss it !

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet — Carlo Magali attempts to mess up the grand plans of Rio Olympics veteran Charly Suarez in his bid to win the World Boxing Association Asia super-featherweight title on 23 October at the Flash Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Complex.
The Bohol-born Magali, who has been based here, enters the ring armed with a 25 win record with 13 knockouts.
Magali swears he holds a big edge in experience but that alone won’t be enough to beat Suarez, who has an undefeated record of 12 wins, including seven knockouts.
“But Suarez is also good so I have to be prepared,” Magali said.
A former Orient-Pacific Boxing Federation champion, Magali, 35, became a headliner many years ago when he fought in Australia.
Magali scored a 12th-round knockout of Davey Browne Jr. with 30 seconds remaining before the end of the fight.
Browne would spend a few days in hospital while in coma before dying owing to massive head injuries.
Suarez is handled by his former teammate in the national team, Delfin Boholst.
Philippines Al Toyogan and Cuba's Armando Martinez Rabi made weight just moments ago.
Rabi is a former amateur standout, who is now 7 and 0 as a pro, and if you think Cubans lack pop, think again! The dynamic punching Rabi has put 6 of his victims away by knockout !
Fans of Toyogan know that he boasts plenty of firepower of his own, and combined with a great chin, he is sure to give Armando Rabi a huge challenge.
This is a spectacular fight, and as good as the Cuban is, Philippines' Toyogan is a real live dog!
This is genuine 50/50 !
Elorde Gym boxer Al Toyogan has touched down in Dubai ahead of Saturday's big fight with unbeaten Cuban Armando Martinez Rabi.
Rabi is a former amateur standout, who is now 7 and 0 as a pro, and if you think Cubans lack pop, think again! The dynamic punching Rabi has put 6 of his victims away by knockout !
Fans of Toyogan know that he boasts plenty of firepower of his own, and combined with a great chin, he is sure to give Armando Rabi a huge challenge.
This is a spectacular fight, and as good as the Cuban is, Philippines' Toyogan is a real live dog!
This is genuine 50/50 !
Have a look at some of the cracking gunfights on this card to open for Suarez and Magali !
The unbeaten Weljon Mindoro matches up with the Highland's Gym resuming power puncher Jun Ibgos. Both these boys have crazy KO stats !
D'HAMMER is back in a big way. He looked rock solid against a quality Jufel Salina, and is looking to build on that performance against a really smart fighter in Ivor Lastrilla.
Jerald Into is rapidly improving young fighter, and is potentially the best 135 in the land, but has he bitten off more than he can chew at this stage with a killer named Eduardo Mancito ? Love this fight, Mancito has fought the best (even Suarez ) and he did great. This is very definitely one of the best fights all day.
Every bout on this morning card is loaded with talent and FIREPOWER!
We will have a review on all these matches in coming weeks.

Congratulations to our friend Virgel Vitor on his recent WBO Oriental title win.
Vitor scored a spectacular round 3 KO of Thailand's Arnon Yupang to secure the belt.
The Bohol fighter, known as Valiente, was a World Team member at the VSP Promotions Victory8 event held in Hanoi in late 2019. Vitor fought a superb battle with Vietnam Team's Nguyễn Văn Gioi in front of a crowd of 25,000 people, and it was obvious from his performance that night that he had a very big future.
Well done on your victory Virgel, and wishing you further success in your path ahead.
Former smart amateur Donald Laurejas makes a short turnaround when he takes on debutant Jess Mike Malaca this October in Parañaque.
Laurejas made a solid debut in August, getting a decision over a vastly improved Marlon Bacolando. He showed some nice touches in that fight, and looked excellent when he used his height and reach to advantage. It is fair to say that the more experienced Bacolando applied good pressure in that contest, and Laurejas will definitely improve significantly from that bout.
BATTLEFIELD UKC has some really promising young fighters on the card, and you can include Donald Laurejas in that group. He has sparred with some big names prior and subsequent to his debut, and has handled the pressure extremely well. Expect to see a vastly improved performance when this young man steps into the ring on October 23rd.

Papua New Guinea's best known fighter is headed to Manila, and has agreed to terms to face "the Journeyman" Mark John Yap at the BATTLEFIELD on October 23rd. Junior "the Prodigy" Raka is a former Arafura Games silver medallist, and has had 3 "official" professional bouts, winning 2 by way of Knockout. But the PNG banger has 7 fights which BoxRec failed to list - all wins, and all knockouts!
His only career loss was on points to the outstanding pinoy Roldan Aldea, in a WBA title match in early 2021. Mark John Yap looked outstanding in his recent WBA clash with Charly Suarez, and his effort left Junior Raka a fan:"It was a really great fight by Mark Yap, lots of clever boxing. I was really impressed. I realize this will be a very hard fight for me, as I am accepting the job at short notice.
But I am very confident in my ability, and I know I have the power to get his attention. Make no mistake, PNG fighters are proud warriors, and this will be a GREAT FIGHT!"

FORMER Olympian Charly Suarez makes another title defense of his World Boxing Association (WBA) Asia super featherweight title when he meets national champion Carlo Magali (25 wins) in Parañaque City on October 23.
Suarez is looking to remain unbeaten and continue his ascent in the super featherweight division and maintain a world title run. He’s currently ranked No. 36 in the super featherweight division by the World Boxing Council (WBC), in which the current titleholder is American star Shakur Stevenson.
The 34-year-old Suarez’s year has been very impressive. He started 2022 with a 12th round technical knockout of Tomjune Mangubat to win the vacant WBA Asia belt.
He followed up that win with a lopsided unanimous decision over Junny Salogaol in a tune-up last June. He then outclassed experienced Marjohn Yap by unanimous decision in his first WBA Asia title defense on Aug. 7.
Magali was supposed to fight in South Africa last Aug. 21 in an World Boxing Federation (WBF) lightweight title fight against Ayanda Nkosi but the fight was cancelled.
The rugged Magali has a reputation of scoring huge upsets. One of the biggest wins of his career was when he knocked out Davey Browne Jr. to win the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Pan Pacific super featherweight belt in Australia.
Unfortunately, Browne Jr. didn’t wake up from the knockout and died a few days later. Magali is also a former Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF).
He has also beaten the likes of Mark JohnYap (twice), Rey Perez, and Mark Gil Melligen. Magali was also impressive in his most recent performance, a dominant win over local lightweight star Al Toyogon.
Magali holds a record of 25 wins (13KO) and holds the pro experience edge over Suarez, who is unbeaten in 12 wins (7KO).
“We know we have lots of work to do to achieve our goals, and we are very grateful to get opportunities to fight good opponents for belts as we look to improve.” said the King’s Warrior Charly Suarez.
“Carlo Magali has been a big name in Philippines boxing for a long time, and he has also beaten some top guys that he wasn’t expected to beat. So, we don’t underestimate this boxer!
We are preparing for a war, as we expect that Magali will be trying for a brawl. He will be looking for the knockout. We will be smart, but are ready to fight fire with fire!”
Charly Suarez and Carlo Magali will be fighting for both the RP national and WBA Asia Championship belts.
Suarez is leaving nothing to chance in his world rankings surge, yet Magali has a style that has previously thwarted the plans of many more heavily favoured opponents.
Eduardo “the Nightmare” Mancito steps onto the BATTLEFIELD this October, and will face up to unbeaten lightweight prospect Jerald Into.
"The Nightmare" is far and away the most experienced opponent that Into has faced so far.
The 29 year old Mancito has fought against many of the division’s best, including bouts in countries like Mexico, Thailand and Japan.
As a boxer with 18 wins on his resume, The Nightmare brings valuable knowledge to the ring, and his no nonsense style have yielded him 9 KOs. His gritty toughness is also undeniable, having only been stopped twice in his career, both instances being at the hands of foreign opponents with outstanding records.
Eduardo Mancito has that enviable “warrior’s blood” He loves to fight, to challenge himself, and he ducks NOBODY! His last 3 losses are deceptive - they were at the hands of unbeaten boxers Charly Suarez and Jadier Hererra, and a very narrow defeat at the hands of once beaten Jose Roda Jr.
But tear up the form guides, Jerald Into represents a totally new challenge, and rest assured, Eduardo Mancito will be looking to turn this into a "Nightmare" experience for the unbeaten southpaw.
Eduardo Mancito: 18Wins (9KO) 14Losses (3KO) 2Draws
Vietnam's Nhi will fight to unify world titles with Yokasta Valle in Costa Rica this Thursday.
Nhi holds the WBO title, whilst local cult status heroine Yokasta Valle owns the IBF version.
VSP Promotions have long been an admirer of Nhi, and she competed at our very first Victory8 event in HCMC. The Vietnam girl made headlines winning an exhibition match with retired world champ Gretchen Abaniel, and was awarded a $20,000 USD prize for her efforts !
Nhi has come a long way since then, and we wish her lots of good fortune in her next big challenge in Costa Rica.
GO NHI !!!!
FORMER Olympian Charly Suarez makes another title defense of his World Boxing Association (WBA) Asia featherweight title, this time, against tough journeyman Carlo Magali on Oct. 23 at The Flash Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Complex in Parañaque City.

He has also beaten the likes of Yap, twice, and Mark Gil Melligen and, just two years ago, Al Toyogon.
Suarez is 12-0 with seven knockouts, while Magali is 25-13-3 with 13 knockouts.
Also seeing action in the same card are unbeaten prospects Weljon Mindoro (8-0, 8 KOs) and Ali Canega (6-0-1, 4 KOs), and Claudevan Sese (7-3-3, 1 KO).

One of Manila's hottest prospects has just signed up to BATTLEFIELD UKC Tiger 2O22!Antonio Uy was an amateur standout before going pro earlier this year.This Elorde trained fighter hasn't put a foot wrong since, going 2 and 0, and both by way of stoppage. The execution and confidence displayed in his wins was that of a much more experienced boxer, and beckons bigger challenges in his future.
The great news is that this quicksilver attacking weapon known as "Crossman" will step into the BATTLEFIELD on October 23rd.Antonio Uy is definitely one of the most exciting prospects in the Philippines right now, and we will be looking to match him with a more seasoned opponent to test his mettle.Get to Parañaque next month and watch the Crossman do his thing. We guarantee that you will be quite amazed at the speed, accuracy, and power, that this kid possesses.Updates on an opponent for Antonio Uy, and any other new troops destined for the BATTLEFIELD, coming soon !
WHEN ALL YOU HAVE IS D'HAMMER ! Every opponent starts to look like a nail !
RoyRoy Sumugat had his first fight for 2022 in Manila last month, and it wasn't served up easy!
He encountered the vastly improved Jufel Salina, a boxer that brought to the ring an impressive work rate delivered with lashings of power, and it ensured the resuming Sumugat had nowhere to hide.
But the man dubbed D'HAMMER passed his return exam with flying colours!
Breaking news is BIG ROY is back, and is the latest to join a host of gladiators at the

Mark John Yap put on an outstanding display recently in Manila when he took on Charly Suarez for the WBA title. In what was a very cerebral and high volume contest, Yap constantly asked questions of the champion for the full 12 rounds. His ability to read shots, and switch his own attacks between subtlety and power, was not lost on an appreciative crowd. It was often remarked around the room that with some of his body assaults, if not for a special opponent like Suarez, then Yap would have definitely scored a stoppage victory.
And so onto the big news - YAP IS BACK !
VSP Promotions were very fortunate to secure The Journeyman, who was originally intended to fight in Japan this October. That match fell through and we were quick to contact the CDO star (a former triple OPBF champ)
Japan's loss is Philippines gain !
VSP have a huge opinion of this outstanding boxer !
He is without doubt one of the most technical and skilled boxers in the Philippines, and has years of high level international experience that have crafted his game.
If you are a true fight fan, come see this elite level operator in action on October 23rd in Parañaque.

Yes - Claudevan Sese will be on the card!
Jerald Into went 5 and 0 when he out hustled Vietnam's Nguyen Van Hai recently. Hai is a former national champion and SEA Games medalist, so the bout was a marked step up in class for the rapidly improving fighter.What's next ? Hmmm....The word is strong that Jerald Into will be appearing on a huge Suarez v Magali undercard on October 23rd at BATTLEFIELD UKC Tiger 2022 !Fingers crossed, because this kid is going places.He may even end up the Philippines best lightweight prospect the way he is going!
Jonniel Laurente looks certain to make an appearance on the undercard of Suarez v Magali this October in Parañaque.
The mood for this show is already simmering, and the name says it all !
BATTLEFIELD - UKC TIGER 2022
Sounds just perfect for the promising and unbeaten Laurente, who is one of the best emerging talents in the Philippines.
News on his opponent, and other great fighters destined for the BATTLEFIELD, will be coming soon !
Charly Suarez and Carlo Magali are both known for blazing hands and massive punch counts, so expect a fistic smorgasbord of full on attack when these two fighters meet on October 23rd.
Magali makes his eagerly awaited return after an unfortunate run of fight cancelations.
When we last saw "The Ferocious", he was simply outstanding, besting a very good young fighter by the name of Al Toyogan (who has looked unbeatable since!)
It also should be remembered that just prior to his Toyogan match, Carlo Magali was slated to fight unbeaten Miguel Berchelt for the world title, a fight that was widely acknowledged as the toughest test yet encountered for the formidable title holder.
Carlo Magali is the current Philippines national champion, and in true champion spirit, will put that title on the line when he faces Suarez. Likewise, the King's Warrior will offer up his WBA belt for the October 23rd match at Elorde Sports Centre Paranaque.
The unbeaten Suarez has been in outstanding touch, and is certainly lucky to have a swathe of quality opponents and sparring partners around his weight class.
His most recent win against a very savvy Mark John Yap will give you a taste of what to expect this October.
Expect all guns blazing on October 23rd, when youthful "power prodigy" Weljon Mindoro is expected to make his appearance on the main undercard of Suarez v Magali.
Mindoro is a member of a very talented squad trained out of Quibors Boxing Gym in Cavite, and his inclusion to the Charly Suarez card is surely going to add huge interest to the Parañaque show.
The man known as "Triggerman" is unbeaten in 8 bouts, and quite incredibly, has completed his work assignments all within the distance !
Mindoro is also unique in the fact that he is a larger size boxer than what is typically seen in the Philippines, contesting the Middleweight category (70kg).
As you can see from his picture with national team star Eumir Marcial, TRIGGERMAN is no shrinking violet. And at the age of just 22, he may very well still be growing !
The greatest boxing festival in Vietnam. It is finally coming after nearly 3 years!
The King's Warrior is on a short turn around, and will face up to Philippines' national champ Carlo Magali in Parañaque on October 23.Suarez was originally slated to fight a foreign opponent in Danang, but the October 29 date made a planned December match unworkable.
The VSP boxer is enthusiastic about the task ahead :"Yes, we had planned to fight India's number one boxer in Danang, but the date was a little too late for our schedule.We are very fortunate to be able to get to match a top professional like Carlo, he has been one of the big names in boxing for many years. I like the challenge because Carlo Magali always brings a great fight!"Magali was recently preparing for a big match in South Africa that was canceled. The Bohol bred fighter quickly jumped at the opportunity to test himself with the WBA champion Suarez. Magali is the current national champion, and when last in the ring, defeated the highly promising Al Toyogan.
The match between Charly Suarez and Carlo Magali will be the main event of another big card at Elorde Sports Centre on Sunday October 23rd. The combatants will be competing for WBA Asia and RP title honours in what will be an action packed bout.
In great news for fight fans, Claudevan Sese is all set to return to the ring this October, after an extended hiatus during lockdown.
The firebrand style of Mr. Heart Throb has been sorely missed of late, being so distinguishable by his fast hands and feet, and even the theatrical style that he brings to the ring each time.
And if you need reminding, here is a glimpse of Claudevan Sese back in 2019, when he took on a former Vietnam national champion, the "smiling assassin" Tran Van An.
The last time we brought fighters from around the world to Vietnam, the response was quite unbelievable.
The Legends of Hoan Kiem show in Hanoi attracted a crowd of 25,000, and was viewed by millions more on live TV and streaming. The matches from that historic event have since generated more than 30 million views.
THIS DECEMBER VICTORY8 IS BACK!
Vietnam's best will be matched with top professional fighters around the world in an electric 4 round format. Fast and furious!
We are currently scouting for iconic locations in HCMC and Vung Tau.
Breaking news on this soon.
Carlo Magali has signed to fight Charly Suarez in October in Manila.
"The Ferocious" was slated to fight in South Africa, but when that fight failed to materialise, was quick to challenge the unbeaten Suarez.
Magali is a last start victor over powerful prospect Al Toyogan, and he also has two wins to his credit over Mark John Yap on his excellent resume. Yap is a multiple OPBF champ, and the most recent in a string of excellent local opponents for former Olympian Suarez.
The match which is proposed for October 23rd, will see Charly Suarez will defend his WBA title, and in a confident gesture, Carlo Magali will put his national RP belt on the line.
This is an exciting time for Philippines boxing where the fighters are embracing the opportunity for best to face best!
More news on this match up coming soon.
