DAVAO CITY – The title defense of reigning Philippine super bantamweight champion Mark Anthony “El Heneral” Geraldo of Bukidnon against undefeated Carl Jammes “Wonder Boy” Martin of Ifugao on May 1 in Laguna was postponed due to the present ECQ situation.

It will be second title defense of Geraldo (38W-9L-3D, 19KOs).
“Postpone. Naka ready na mi tanan. Ang problema extended pa pod ang ECQ till the end of April (Postpone we are all ready. The problem was extended by the ECQ till the end of April),” said Alfante.
“Mga boxers natin ay walang jogging at sparring dahil bawal lumabas. Sobra sa ka strikto (Our boxers do not have jogging and sparring because it is forbidden to go out. Too strict),” said Alfante.
