For the first time ever, the local Southern California boxing media will have an opportunity to witness and see first-hand what Filipinos are capable of doing in the international boxing seen.
ALA Promotions in cooperation with their TV partners, the giant ABS-CBN TV Network from the Philippines, announced the first presscon for the coming big event dubbed as ?Philippines vs the World? at the Stub Hub Sport Complex in Carson, California on October 17, 2015.
The presscon is scheduled on Friday Sept 25th at the Maximo Room of the Max?s Restaurant in Glendale, CA. The event starts at noon with a traditional Filipino lunch followed by questions and answers at 1 PM.
