Eumir Marcial professional boxing career

Overview

Undefeated Filipino boxer Eumir Marcial was scheduled to defend his WBC middleweight international title against Omar Ulises Huerta in San Diego, California. The bout was set to serve as Marcial’s first appearance on United States television.

Marcial secured a third-round knockout victory against Huerta, improving his professional record to 8-0. Following the win, the Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) announced that Marcial would withdraw from the 20th Asian Games in Japan. ABAP President Marcus Manalo stated the decision was made to prioritize the athlete’s health and safety, citing the impracticality of the short recovery period and the 16-hour time difference between the United States and Japan.
