The Queens of Philippine Boxing are Training in Cebu


PhilBoxing.com





CEBU CITY — In the vibrant city of Cebu, an inspiring trio of boxing queens continue to hone their craft, driven by their remarkable passion for the sport.

Norj Guro, Wenie Cline Verano, and Carleans "Chay" Rivas, three formidable warriors, embody the meaning of strength, skill, and determination.

Under the watchful eye of renowned Cebuano coach Brix Flores, these strong and talented athletes sweat and toil in his gym, fueling their muscles and driving their quest for victory.

A glance at the Philboxing photo reveals the trio's unwavering dedication to competing in championship boxing.



👉 NORJ GURO

On the left in the main pic is Atomweight Norj Guro (13-9-1, 4 KOs) of Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, a fighter who has claimed various championship belts and consistently impresses fans with her warrior spirit.

Norj's latest battle was a WBC championship match last October in Hermosillo, Mexico, where she left a fantastic impression on Mexican fans despite her opponent, Camila Zamorano, winning by points.



👉 WENIE CLINE “AMAZONA”VERANO

Standing in the center of the photo is hard-hitting Flyweight Wenie Cline "Amazona" Verano (13-0, 9 KOs) from Cagayan de Oro, the City of Golden Friendship.

She is the unbeaten and captivating phenom with an insatiable hunger for exciting boxing action.

Wenie's last fight was a thrilling round 5 TKO win in Bangkok, Thailand.



👉 CARLEANS “CHAY” RIVAS

On the right is Minimumweight Carleans "Chay" Rivas (9-8-4, 1 KO) from Angono, Rizal Province, a stunning and fearless warrior fresh from her Japan stint, exuding confidence and poise.

Coach Brix Flores, a Cebu hero and medalist in the 1986 Asia Games in South Korea, guides these talented athletes with his wealth of experience and expertise.

Our lady warriors also rely on the care and assistance of Highland Boxing Promotions and boxing manager Gary Connolly.

As our three fight girls prepare for their next challenges, speculation surrounds a possible appearance in the upcoming Brico Santig show on August 30 in Bangkok.

We will keep you informed of any developments.

For now, from our hearts, we extend our best wishes to Norj, Wenie, and Chay.

Your tireless efforts and remarkable careers inspire fans across our boxing-loving Nation, serving as a testament to the power of perseverance and passion for sports.

May your triumphs continue to uplift and inspire all of us, especially our children across our beloved land.
