Newly-crowned WBO superfly king Marvelous Marvin Sonsona landed in Bangkok, Thailand yesterday to fulfill a commitment to his friend/benefactor Daniel Potter as well as get some much-deserved vacation.
Sonsona was accompanied by trainer Jhun Agrabio and his brother Dodie Boy Agrabio, and was met at the airport by WBO Asia Pacific chairman Leon Panoncillo, Potter and his assistant Len, and Bangkok-based journalist Scott Mallon.
Sonsona is expected to grace the inauguration of a boxing gym owned by Potter, according to Agrabio, and at the same time tour some places in Thailand that might be of interest to the 19-year-old boxing prodigy.
