| By Ronnie Nathanielsz, PhilBoxing.com , April 09,2007 |
The ban imposed by GAB chairman Eric Buhain on Filipino boxers fighting in Thailand has resulted in the immediate return of several fighters who had sneaked out of the country without GAB clearance to fight in Thailand, often in terrible mismatches.
Feisty promoter Yolly Alfante disclosed that one of her fighters, Pit Anacaya, whom she reported to the GAB for leaving without approval had returned home and was ready to tell all about those involved in the unscrupulous activities. Chairman Buhain disclosed that Kid Orais had also returned with the belongings of former WBC Youth flyweight champion Lito Sisnorio who died last March 30 after being knocked out in the 4th round by former world champion Chatchai Sasakul and undergoing brain surgery.
The NBI whose assistance was sought by Buhain in his determined effort to crack down on the illegal activities in boxing are looking for Sisnorio's cell-phone in the hope that they might discover some contact numbers.
