EUROPEAN BOXERS IN BACOLOD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Manila, Jan. 7, 1998 - World-class boxers from Europe have confirmed participation in the 10th Mayor's Cup International Amateur Boxing Championships in Bacolod next month.
Amateur Boxing Association President Manuel Lopez said "Our association is being deluged with inquiries and we could see the participation of more than 200 boxers around the world."
Organizers said European teams, led by Germany and Russia, are competing in the world-ranking tournament which features 13 weight categories.
Last year, the event was limited to Asian nations since it was designated as a qualifying tournament for the Atlanta Olympics.
