From a boxer to a drug pusher: Ex-WBC champ Eden Sonsona caught by police
Former World Boxing Council (WBC) champion Eden Sonsona was arrested in a drug buy-bust operation in General Santos City.
Authorities have been monitoring Sonsona for a long time for allegedly pushing illegal drugs.
He was even advised by other boxers to stop his drug addiction because that is where his boxing income goes.
Eden Sonsona could not be reached for comment due to the health protocols being enforced in the prison.
Sonsona last fought on March 17, 2021 in General Santos City but lost to Rimar Metuda of Cagayan de Oro City.
In May 2015, Eden Sonsona won the WBC international super featherweight title after defeating Mexico’s Adrian Estrella via technical knockout.
He was also an undercard in the Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey fight in Arlington, Texas in 2010, where he defeated Colombian opponent Mauricio Pastrana.
