CEBU CITY ? Eight months is a long time to wait for Cebu boxing fans. The last Pinoy Pride event held at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel was PINOY PRIDE 22, headlined by Genesis Servania?s stunning knockout win over Rafael Concepcion of Panama.
After three editions in Metro Manila, Pinoy Pride returns to its home base this June 21. Boxing fans also got to see the featured boxers in the customary public workout to promote the event.

Banal and Jimrex ?Executioner? Jaca gave fans a glimpse of a boxer?s rigorous training regimen during their public workout Sunday afternoon at the Robinson?s Fuente Activity Area.
