Anton Vinzon busy with training for upcoming series ‘Kamao’

Anton Vinzon has been busy with physical training for his lead role as a young boxer in the upcoming Kapuso series “Kamao.”

According to Nelson Canlas’ report on “24 Oras” Tuesday, the Sparkle star and former "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" housemate has been going to the gym and training in boxing every day. He has also been running to build his stamina. 

“Everyday po talaga ‘ko nag-wo-workout with my dad,” Anton said. “Bawal talaga ‘yung excuse. Sabi niya, ‘anak, dapat mag-gym ka araw-araw kasi big break mo ‘to, show mo ‘to. Kaya pagbutihin mo lang talaga.’”

For Anton, however, the biggest challenge of the series is working with actors he looks up to, such as  Amy Austria, Wendell Ramos, Neil Ryan Sese, and his dad, Roi Vinzon.

“Syempre ‘yung makakasama ko ‘yung mga veteran actors,” he said. “Dun talaga ‘ko kinakabahan kasi… first day, ilang cuts ako kay papa kasi ‘yung pressure ko kay papa. First time ko makaeksena si papa, iba pa rin 'yung naka-eksena ko siya as lolo. Hindi ko naramdaman talaga na lolo ko siya nun/" 

Meanwhile, Anton hopes to train with fellow Sparkle star Eman Bacosa Pacquiao and his friend and “Mga Batang Riles” co-star Raheel Bhyria.

“Sabi daw nila na may fight daw [si Eman]. So sana pagbalik niya, matulungan niya ‘ko, maturuan niya ‘ko ng mga moves niya,” Anton said.

“Tapos si Raheel, gusto ko rin matuto sa kanya about boxing,” he added.
