Laurente is back in amateur, joins qualification in Thailand By Lito delos Reyes PhilBoxing.com Tue, 09 Apr 2024  UNDEFEATED Criztian Pitt “Golden Boy” Laurente of General Santos City is back in amateur boxing and is scheduled to join the qualification for the Paris Olympics. The 24-year-old Laurente is now set to leave the country and join his team for a tune-up match in the USA. He will join Tokyo Games silver medalist Carlo Paalam, 2016 Rio boxer Rogen Ladon and multi-combat athlete Hergie Bacyadan. They are set to participate in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament on May 23 until June 3 in Bangkok, Thailand. Laurente earned that right to join the team after beating Ashley Fajardo in their box off with a score of 4-1, “I'm proud of my son because last week he defeated Ashley Fajardo, who is a Philippine team in there boxed off,” said Cristino “Titing” Laurente, father and pro coach of Laurente. Laurente, who is a super featherweight, has a record of 12 wins with seven knockouts and no defeat or draw. In his last fight as a pro, Laurente demolished Munkhdaiai Batochir by a unanimous decision last March 11, 2023 in Cheongpyeong, South Korea. "I am very happy because there is so much opportunity and only a few boxers have been given the chance to qualify for the Olympic,” said Titing Laurente. Laurente is a former member of the Philippine team for five years before he turned pro in 2019. He became the Philippine Boxing Federation super featherweight champion after beating JR Magboo by a knockout in the 1st round last November 20, 2022 in Mandaluyong City.
