PhilBoxing.com




The above photo shows tough Filipino Bantamweight Alvin “Daredevil” Medura (10-5, 7 KO’s) and his coach Randy Almazon wearing black T-shirts, saying goodbye as they enter NAIA for their three and half-hour flight from Manila to Bangkok on Tuesday, April 19, one week ahead of Medura’s crucial battle for the WBC Asia Bantamweight Silver Title at Rangsit Boxing Stadium in Pathum Thani, Kingdom of Thailand.

Alvin is set to challenge WBC world-ranked #14, WBC Asian bantamweight titlist, former world-title challenger Tasana Salapat aka Petch CP Freshmart (64-1, 48 KO's).

The battle is in bantamweights, the 118-lbs weight-class where the three awesome kings are: Nonito Donaire, Naoya Inoue and Johnriel Casimero,

For the 28-year-old Alvin Medura, Tuesday's war will his golden opportunity to rocket a big boost to his pro boxing career.

The clash marks Alvin's 5th fight behind enemy lines and his 2nd rumble in Thailand. For this one, the fighter from the Bebot Elorde Stable feels 100% focused in scoring a thrilling win.



However, given the credentials and experience of his opponent, It might not be easy.

That's why the brave Zamboangueño can draw inspiration from Filipino compatriot Adrian Lerasan (11-4, 4 KO’s) who has recently scored 3 consecutive KO wins over really dangerous Thai fighters in Asian title fights in Thailand.

If Adrian could pull off such terrific wins, could the brave, hard-hitting Alvin score victory as well?

"Yes, he can.

"We have faith in the strength and heart of our boy Alvin Medura.

"Alvin has our full support, the support of Filipino fans, and he is in great shape. More power to Team Medura. May God bless us all," shared veteran man of boxing Patrick Pepito Pante of the Elorde Gym.

Alvin Medura's fight will air live in Thailand on Thai cable channel "True Vision" Channel 24 on Tuesday, April 26, starting at 6 PM (Thailand Time UTC +7).

Best of luck to Alvin Medura and his team from 🇵🇭 Philboxing.com, The Filipino Boxing Portal.
