Steal the Olympic torch post
Alrighty then, let's talk about the upcoming match between the Filipino boxer, Prince Albert Pagara, and Olympian Bakhodur Usmonov for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Gold lightweight strap on May 23 in Tajikistan.
Pagara, a boxer under ALA Boxing, last fought in June 2024, earning a majority decision victory over Aketelieti Yelejian in the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Asia lightweight division in Pasig City.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Pagara, who's 31 years old, hasn't been active on the fight schedule since Gyum 2020. He's only had two fights since then, going 1-1.
Usmonov, on the other hand, made his debut in 2020. His most notable win came in 2023 when he defeated Thai Manat Sopatip in the eleventh round, securing the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Oriental lightweight belt. Fk yeah, that was a brutal knockout!
Training at ALA Gym, Pagara has been preparing for this fight diligently. It's going to be a tough match, but Pagara's a seasoned fighter and ain't afraid of a good brawl. He's got what it takes to bring that strap home.
Stay tuned for more updates on this highly-anticipated match! Go, Pagara!
