Despite Duterte’s “Conditions”, PNP Chief Nicolas Torre Continues Preparation for Possible Boxing Match
PNP CHIEF – Philippine National Police chief Police General Nicolas Torre III jogged for 10 laps around the PNP Oval despite the rain for a possible boxing match versus Davao City acting Mayor Baste Duterte.

Torre proposed that the charity boxing match will have 12 rounds so they can raise a huge amount of money to be donated to the typhoon and flood victims. He also wanted to have a sponsor for every round. He stressed that he will donate all of his share from the match.
According to the chief of the national police, it does not matter with him if there is not enough time to prepare for the boxing match as he proposed it to be held on Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum. He also claimed that it is fine with him if Duterte has practiced for it. He believes that it won’t hurt match citing that it is just a charity boxing game.
