A boxing legacy has resurfaced as Dodie Boy Peñalosa , Jr. , fought Jeffrey Jimenez last June 25 at the Cebu Coliseum. GMA News was there to witness it all and will air the fight on July 17.
His grandfather, Carl Peñalosa, once held a title for Philippine Lightweight Division. His uncle, Gerry, won twice in a world match before retiring. His father, Dodie Boy Sr., also has two World Division Championship title. It is just fitting that this fight event was named “Dugong Kampeon” (Bloodline of Champions) because of the Peñalosa boxing lineage.
