The pandemic has brought so much devastation to the world, especially to the athletes. It's been more than three years since face-to-face tournaments, competitions, and other sports-related events were postponed. Athletes struggle to look for training venues and bond and grow with their other players and coaches.

With sports, the athletes have learned to stop training and rest. Tournaments were canceled or postponed. With the new normal, many sports events have returned to action, including boxing.

Recently, the Boxing Worldwide Organization (BWO), a global sanctioning body in professional boxing founded in 2021 in Los Angeles, CA, USA, has organized its own in-person tournament featuring amateur and veteran pugs in the country.

With founders and members having over 20 years of experience in title fights, BWO aims to revolutionize the world of professional boxing. It aims to develop a community of professional trainers, managers, physicians, and promoters; organize title fights in cooperation with local boxing commissions, and most importantly; promote unity and sportsmanship among boxing enthusiasts.

Thrilled Pinoy fans gathered at the Ynares Arena in Pasig City to witness the Main Fight of the Night where Edward “Heneral” Heno outperformed boxer Renoel Pael via a unanimous decision to win the BWO bantamweight belt.
