00:00The Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines, or ABAP, will continue to be the target of the Philippine Boxing Team's competition and training camps this year.
00:13For more details, here is the report of my teammate, Paolo Salamatin.
00:19The Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines, or ABAP, has already put the national boxers under a lot of pressure this year
00:27to prepare for the longer season of their competition, the 33rd Southeast Asian Games that will be held in December in Thailand.
00:36In case the Asian Under-15 and Under-17 Boxing Championships continue this February in Amman, Jordan,
00:42ABAP will have to postpone the competition here to ensure the readiness of their team before competing abroad.
00:52Because of this, one of the most prepared national boxers for now is the upcoming World Boxing Cup in Brazil from March 29 to April 6,
01:02which will serve as their first international tournament this year.
01:06This year, ABAP is hoping to produce world champions this year at the amateur level.
01:15After this, ABAP is also on the list to join a training camp in South Korea in May as a preparation for other tournaments
01:25that the national boxers will attend in Thailand, Kazakhstan, and Germany between May and July.
01:33Wales is also one of the destinations for their international training camp for the upcoming inaugural World Boxing Championships in Liverpool in September.
01:43As part of ABAP's calendar of events in October, the Asian Elite Championships and World Boxing Cup Finals will be held in November in India
01:52before they continue competing in the long-awaited SEA Games in Thailand.
