After championing
the local boxing scene with a slew of exciting live events, ESPN5 Boxing steps up further by
teaming up with Gerrypens Promotions
to deliver a boxing tournament training program called Ultimate Boxing Series: Kamaong Pinoy, premiering June 2019 on the “5”
Network.
Twenty
professional boxers from different boxing stables around the Philippines will
be given the opportunity to train in one roof and under the watchful eye of
Pinoy boxing legend and two-time champ Gerry
‘Fearless’ Peñalosa, for the opportunity to face off against each other in a
live and nationally-televised boxing event, courtesy of ESPN5.
This
sports reality series will not only feature the fighters’ training and
conditioning, but also their motivations – their loved ones, families, and for
the opportunity to further build upon the legacy of Philippine boxing.
Each
episode will feature not only why they fight, but who they are fighting for.
Gerry
Peñalosa states that this is what Kamaong
Pinoy represents: “Ang Kamaong Pinoy ay hindi lang panglaban, ito rin ay
pang-protekta ng mga mahal sa buhay,” (The Pinoy boxer’s fist is not only for
fighting, but also for protecting the ones they love).

“The Filipino boxing scene has never been this exciting,” TV5 President Vincent Reyes shares.
“The search for the next dominant Pinoy boxer can come from anywhere and bring
something new to the table – a new stable, a new boxing style, a new
motivation. We are proud to be a pivotal part of this, and to share Gerry Peñalosa’s vision in his search for the
next Fearless Pinoy Fighter.”
