CEBU CITY--The ALA Gym at the BTC held the slambang "ALA Gym Celebrity Boxing Match' to foster friendship among its members moments ago, where foods and drinks were aplenty after the matches for the Christmas party that followed.
Businessman Gerry Malixi, who works out at the ALA Gym and briefly coached by the renowned Nonito Donaire Sr, edged out Ervin Elemento in an exciting duel.
