Ibuyan to continue helping amateur boxers

City Councilor Edgar Ibuyan will never abandon amateur boxing development as head of the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines-Davao City Chapter.

Under his wing are the 15 amateur fighters who they also send to school.

"ABAP Davao City is stable," said Ibuyan's spokesman and Barangay 5-A Kagawad Ruben Dongzal on Thursday's Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn.

The statement on reports that there are already two amateur boxing organizations in Davao, the other headed by Councilor Amilbangsa Manding, President of the Liga ng mga Barangay Boxing Association.

Dongzal said that the other group's focus, though, is to build a stable of professional fighters and not amateurs which is consonance with ABAP and the international governing body, AIBA.

"We will continue to follow what is best for amateur boxing in Davao," said Dongzal, who bared that Councilor Ibuyan made sure that the Davao Chapter is registered to have legal personality.
