Unbeaten middleweight Weljon Mindoro could find himself representing the Philippines in the 33rd Southeast Asian Games.

Mindoro along with his handlers Gerry Balmes and Orly Barcelango all agreed that being part of the national team is certainly a huge honor.

They’re just waiting for a formal communique from either the Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines and Philippine Olympic Committee to make everything official.

During the presentation of the 3rd Asian Youth Games medalists on Monday, POC president Abraham ‘Bambol’ Tolentino mentioned including the name of the 25-year-old Mindoro in the boxing team list.

“We are open on the idea of fighting and it would be better if we all formally discuss the matter,” said Barcelango during the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.

“It would be an honor to serve the country,” he added.

Mindoro, a native of Zamboanga Del Sur, previously competed in the Batang Pinoy where he was a bronze medal winner in Tagum, Davao del Norte, and Palarong Pambansa in which he snatched a silver medal in Pangasinan. And yet never made it to the national team.

And so representing the Philippine team in the SEA Games would be a dream come true for him.

“I am excited to represent the country internationally,” said Mindoro in the weekly forum presented by San Miguel Corporation, Philippine Sports Commission, POC, MILO, and the country’s 24/7 sports app ArenaPlus.

The 5-foot-11 Mindoro carries a fearsome record of 15-0-1 with 15 KOs and idolizes eight-time division champion Manny Pacquiao and Mexican boxing superstar and world champion Canelo Alvarez.
