DAVAO CITY – Southpaw welterweight Jayar “Hitman” Inson (18W-3L-OD, 12KO) of Davao City will no longer go to South Korea to fight In Duck Seo (13W-3L-2D, 7KO) of Seoul on Dec. 12.
“They have postponed or canceled boxing because the status of Covid-19 in Korea is increasing," Nonoy Neri of MP Boxing Davao said Tuesday.
Seung Min Ryu of Buffalo Promotion said the “match seems to have to be canceled and postponed. The Korean Embassy in the Philippines and the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not respond to our talk”.
Likewise, Won Kim of the WBA Asia Boxing Association said South Korea's infection rate "may delay the fight”.
“So, it is hard to get permission from the government,” said Kim.
The 30-year old Inson, on the other hand, said he was already getting ready to leave together with assistant trainer Ron Reyes.
On Oct. 14, 2018, Inson retained the Philippine welterweight title over Allan Tanada of Zamboanga by a TKO in the 4th round in Butuan City.
Inson, however, suffered a technical knockout in the 2nd round to Russian Sergey Lipinets for the vacant World Boxing Organization Inter-Continental welterweight title in Las Vegas in July 2019. (PNA)
