Boxing Event Rescheduled for Safety Reasons
In a proactive move to ensure public safety amid consecutive weather disturbances affecting the country, PMI Bohol Boxing Promotions has officially postponed its upcoming Kumong Bol-anon 23 boxing card. The event was originally scheduled to take place on November 15, 2025, in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, but will now be held on November 22, 2025.
Typhoons Cause Widespread Disruption
The decision comes as the Philippines continues to grapple with the aftermath of Typhoon Tino, which recently battered the Visayas region, particularly Cebu. This was quickly followed by the approach of Super Typhoon Uwan, which began affecting the country starting November 10 and is expected to cause significant travel disruptions, including flight cancellations.
Beyond the physical damage caused by these successive calamities, numerous travel plans have been affected across the archipelago. The promotion company emphasized that safety remains their top priority in making this difficult decision to reschedule the much-anticipated event.
Official Statement and Main Event Details
In an official statement released through their social media channels, PMI Bohol Boxing Promotions explained: "We would like to inform you that the bout originally scheduled for November 15 has been postponed to November 22 due to Super Typhoon Uwan, which is expected to affect the Philippines starting November 10 and may cause flight cancellations and travel disruptions. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation, as the safety of all participants and staff remains our top priority."
The main event of the promotion features Boholano boxer Regie 'Filipino Phenom' Suganob facing a challenging task against World Boxing Organization (WBO) Global flyweight champion Mchanja Yohana from Tanzania in a 10-round non-title bout.
