Now that Eumir Marcial has accomplished his goal to qualify for the Paris Olympics, he will return to the US to stay active as a professional fighter.
Marcial has booked himself a return ticket to the Summer Games via a silver medal finish in the 19th Asian Games men's boxing.
"Babalik muna ako sa States para lumaban ulit as professional," said the heavy-fisted Filipino middleweight. "Sa ngayon kasi wala pa namang tournament na amateur na sasalihan." "Malaking bagay sa akin na bumalik muna sa pros para tuloy-tuloy lang ang training ko at madagdagan ang experience ko," he said.
