AFTER several postponement, the boxing for a cause will finally push through Tuesday, November 6, at the CCDC Gym in Buyagan, La Trinidad, Benguet.
The nine-bout event featured by Highland Boxing Promotions and DMAD Promotion was initially slated October 30 but was moved as typhoon Rosita threatened Northern Luzon.
However, Darwin Miller Depa-ay of DMAD Boxing Promotion said Rex Wa-o will no longer top bill the fundraising event meant for the victims of Typhoon Ompong in Itogon.
“Due to health reasons, Rex Wa-o will be substituted by his teammate Ivor Lastrilla who just won via KO (knockout) in Japan last July 2018,” said Dep–ay.
