Alde Desosa and Mar John Yap, two medal winners in the First Philippine Olympic Boxing Festival continued to pounce on and scored back-to-back victories in the Amateur Boxing Challenge at the Daz Public Plaza in Lutopan, Toledo City.

This time, it was Yap who scored a referee-stop-contest decision due to outclass over Philippine-Australian Gym's Aljeard Tuñacao, 53 seconds in the third round of the 51kgs class.
