The photo shows tough Filipino Bantamweight Alvin “Daredevil” Medura (10-5, 7 KO’s) and his coach Randy Almazon wearing black T-shirts, saying goodbye as they enter NAIA for their three and half-hour flight from Manila to Bangkok today, Tuesday, April 19, one week ahead of Medura’s battle for the WBC Asia Bantamweight Slver Title at the RCA Plaza in Bangkok, Thailand.


Alvin will challenge WBC world-ranked # 14, WBC Asian bantamweight titlist, former world-title challenger Tasana Salapat aka Petch CP Freshmart (64-1, 48 KO's). This is the 118-lbs weight-class where the three awesome kings are: Nonito Donaire, Naoya Inoue and Johnriel Casimero.


For the 28-year-old Alvin Medura, Tuesday's war will his golden opportunity to get in big boost to his pro boxing career. It will also mark his 5th fight behind enemy lines, his 2nd rumble in Thailand, and the fighter from the Bebot Elorde Stable is focused like a laser beam in scoring the title win.


However, given the credentials of his opponent and the place where they will fight, It might not be an easy. But the Zamboangueño can draw inspiration from Filipino compatriot Adrian Lerasan (11-4, 4 KO’s) who has scored 3 consecutive KO wins over really dangerous Thai fighters in Asian title fights in Thailand.


If Adrian could pull off such terrific wins, could the brave, hard-hitting Alvin score victory as well?


"Yes, it can be. We have faith in the strength and heart of our boy Alvin Medura.


"Alvin has our full support and the support of Filipino fans. More power to Team Medura. May God bless us all," shared veteran man of boxing Patrick Pepito Pante of the Elorde Gym.


Alvin Medura's fight will air live in Thailand on Thai cable channel True Vision Channel 24 on Tuesday, April 26, starting at 6 PM (Thailand Time UTC +7).
Best of luck to Alvin Medura and his team from Philboxing.com, The Filipino Boxing Portal. (Fightnews Asia)
