Ifugao, Philippines – The “Wonder Boy” of Lagawe, Ifugao keeps the WBA Asia Super Bantamweight belt after he succeeded in his campaign to defend his title over the weekend.

Friendship outside the boxing ring

“Sa taas ng ring lang magkalaban friends kami sa labas ng ring,” expressed Martin.

In a separate post, he shared a photo of him along with Tondo.

“Sobrang saya pag may bago kang kaibigan,” he captioned.

“I really accept my new friend Carl JAMMES MARTIN,” commented Tondo.

Martin, the new “Manny Pacquiao”

Dubbed as the new “Manny Pacquiao,” Martin is considered by experts as the future star of Philippine boxing.

In the world rankings, the young boxer is currently at No. 11 in the WBA, No. 13 in the International Boxing Federation, No. 14 in the World Boxing Organization, and No. 19 in the World Boxing Council.

He acknowledged that he still has a lot to improve and vowed to continue working hard to become one of the best.

“Salamat po Ama, sa aking team at sa lahat po ng inyong suporta. Marami pa po akong kulang pangakong pag-iigihan ko pa po,” Martin conveyed.
