DAVAO City -- Two title-fights in professional boxing will be featured in this year?s Araw ng Dabaw Boxing at the Rizal Park set on March 17, Saturday at 1 p.m.
The exciting boxing card, which is free to the public, is supported by world boxing champion Rep. Manny Pacquiao of Sarangani Province, former Korean amateur wrestling champion-turned boxing supporter Jung Wan Hwa and the city government of Davao.
This is jointly promoted by comebacking lady boxing promoter Yolly Alfante, Vicente ?Teng? Adriano and former Philippine bantamweight champion Mario Sumalinog.
?We want to bring back professional boxing alive here again in Mindanao,? said Alfante, who grew up in boxing here in Davao City in the 60s.

Two pairs of lady boxers plus four other bouts will also be included in the boxing card sanctioned by the Games and Amusements Board (GAB).
