Now, all eyes are set on the younger fighter – Dodie Boy Peñalosa, Jr. – as the future of Philippine boxing faces Kong Kiatpracha Gym of Thailand this Saturday, August 6, at the Mandaue Sports Complex in Cebu .

He is tagged “Dugong Kampeon” for his name speaks of a lineage of famous Filipino boxers. The tradition of family boxing was stirred by his grandfather Carl Peñalosa, who once held the Philippine Lightweight Champion title, while his father Dodie Boy Peñalosa, Sr. was a two-time World Division Champion. His uncle Gerry Peñalosa, another boxing hero in the annals of this combat sport, won twice as World Champion prior to retiring.
