HANGZHOU, China—Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Eumir Marcial is headed back to the sport’s biggest stage next year in Paris, thanks
to the power of his right fist that claimed another victim in the 19th Asian Games boxing competitions at the Hangzhou Gymnasium here on Wednesday.
“Ok lang ‘yan na China ang kalaban, para din lang sa basketball ,” said Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines chairman Ricky Vargas, referring to the Gilas semifinal game against China later in the day. The Filipino star fought in a higher weight division here from his bronze-clinching 69-75kg division in the Tokyo Games, scheduled in 2020 but held in 2021 following the COVID pandemic.
