00:00Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Ymir Marcial is cooking a surprise for his fellow countrymen.
00:07What is it? We will find out in the first episode of Rafael Bandayrel.
00:13Following a successful campaign in the 2024 Paris Olympics,
00:18Ymir Marcial is now determined to focus on his professional boxing career.
00:24The 28-year-old boxer admitted that he experienced a severe depression
00:31after having a dream of winning a medal in the past Olympics.
00:36Even now, he is able to gain strength from the unwavering support of his fans.
00:43Actually, after the Olympics, I really progressed.
00:47I know that a lot of my foes were depressed after I lost in the Olympics.
00:55But because of the Filipino fans, wherever I go, their support is there for me.
01:02That is what gives me the energy to continue and fight in December.
01:09This is the reason, according to Marcial,
01:12why he wants to allay his next fight for his countrymen.
01:16Even though he cannot give details about who his opponents are,
01:21Zambongueño Southpaw is sure of two things.
01:24The fight will take place in the upcoming December, right here in the Philippines.
01:29Here in the Philippines, before I go back to the state,
01:32I will fight here in the Philippines for the Filipino fans.
01:36Before the Olympics started, Marcial fought in a homecoming bout.
01:41This was his first professional fight in the Philippines.
