Well known Australian boxing promoter and TV host of the popular weekly boxing show KO Boxing, Peter Maniatis, is in town.
Maniatis who was recently voted the Most Valuable Person in boxing in the State of Victoria is searching for promising Filipino fighters to sign up to fight on his major promotions in Australia.
Maniatis has promised to get any fighters he signs up Australian residency as well as guaranteed housing and other benefits.
His dream is to discover a Filipino fighter who he could help turn into a world champion.
While in the country Maniatis hopes to be able to interview pound-for-pound king and ?Fighter of the Decade? Manny Pacquiao who is a friend as well as WBA super flyweight interim champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire.
Maniatis also plans to see as many local fight cards as possible during his one month visit.
The popular Australian promoter recently interviewed legendary comedian Jerry Lewis who spoke about his friendship with former world heavyweight champions, the late Rocky Marciano and ?The Greatest? Muhammad Ali.
