The Philippines’ ALA Boxing Promotions, which has produced numerous champions during its 35-years of operations, has announced on Tuesday that it will be shutting down for good. The organization, which hosted close to 50 events in their “Pinoy Pride” series, also revealed that they will be releasing all the fighters on their stable “so they can look for greener pastures for their respective careers.”
ALA Boxing stated that the decision to cease operations was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the Duterte Government controversially shutting down TV network ABS-CBN, which was their main broadcasting partner.
