CHARLY SUAREZ TO JOIN WSB CHAMPION SQUAD ?MILANO THUNDER? By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 04 Oct 2012  Outstanding amateur boxer Charly Suarez who was painfully denied a chance to fight in the London Olympic Games has been recruited by defending World Series of Boxing champions Milano Thunder which is sponsored by the internationally acclaimed Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines executive director Ed Picson told the Manila Standard that they are currently working on the visa of Suarez and that the Italian Embassy has been very cooperative. Picson said Suarez who last fought for the Mumbai Tigers and scored some big wins in the tournament was invited to join the Milano Thunder in the first week of this month. He said Suarez who is a dedicated fighter has been ?training every day since June and is in great shape.?

Damiani on the team?s website said ?It?s a new challenge that I?m happy to accept and I?m looking forward to taking on with assistants such as Sergiy Korchinskyy from the Ukraine and former professional world title challenger Gianfranco Rossi.? The coach said ?As a trainer, you always have a motivation: this is something new and never seen before.
