Gibbons relishes Malacañang visit
It wasn’t his first time, but American boxing promoter Sean Gibbons was still tickled pink when he got the meet President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday afternoon at Malacanang. Previously, Gibbons had the opportunity to meet President Rodrigo Duterte some years back when Jerwin Ancajas was still reigning as world champion. But this latest trip was even more special. Instead of accompanying just one world champion, Gibbons was there to join Marlon Tapales and Melvin Jerusalem, two of the country’s current titleholders. “It was an unforgettable experience,” Gibbons said from Tokyo while waiting for his connecting flight to the mainland United States after spending a few days in Manila. Tapales is coming off a rousing victory over Murodjon Akhmadaliev of Uzbekistan to snatch the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation super-bantamweight title belts in San Antonio, Texas. Jerusalem had won his—the World Boxing Organization minimumweight title—early this year via a second-round knockout in Osaka, Japan. Also on hand was the Filipino promoter of Tapales and Jerusalem—JC Mananquil of General Santos City. Gibbons swears he is looking forward to another trip to the Palace. And that could take place pretty soon as bantamweight Vincent Astrolabio is getting ready for his shot at the vacant WBO diadem scheduled 13 May in Stockton, California. If Astrolabio doesn’t win it, Gibbons has another world title aspirant in Jade Bornea, who is challenging Argentinian Fernando Martinez on 24 June in Minneapolis. Don’t be surprised if Gibbons ends up becoming a frequent Malacanang visitor. The post Gibbons relishes Malacañang visit appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
