Boxing: 2021 ushers rebirth of Jonas Sultan
After going through a lull following the closure of ALA Boxing, the slugger from Zamboanga found a career resurgence this year with a pair of explosive wins in front of American boxing fans.
Sultan, a former world junior bantamweight contender, shrugged off a 2-year layoff and knocked out Sharone Carter in 7 rounds of their bantamweight match last August. He followed this up with a dominating performance against erstwhile unbeaten Carlos Caraballo in October. Coming in as a huge underdog against the Puerto Rican knockout artist, he pummeled Caraballo from pillar to post, knocking down his opponent 4 times for a decision win. "Sobrang saya ko sa 2021. 'Di ko akalain mananalo ako kay Sharone Carter... lalo na kay Caraballo," said Sultan.Sultan, whose US exploits is supported by Zamboanga Valientes MLV and GlobalPort, is looking forward to a bigger year in 2022.
