Eumir Marcial resumes pro career in Las Vegas

Olympic bronze medalist Eumir Marcial is slated to resume his professional career when he takes on Isiah Hart on April 9 at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, USA.

Marcial, 1-0 as a professional boxer, is coming off a unanimous decision nod over Andrew Whitfield in his pro debut in December 2020 in Los Angeles.

"I am so excited to return to my professional career, and to be fighting in Las Vegas, where I now live and train, is a great way to get things going again." said Marcial.

Marcial, 26, also enlisted renowned strength and conditioning coach in Memo Heredia to his team in preparation for his upcoming fight.

"I am really excited to have Eumir back in the professional ranks after a tremendous showing in Tokyo at the Olympics and winning the bronze medal for the Philippines," said MP Promotions president Sean Gibbons.

“I have worked with a lot of top fighters over the years, but Eumir is the best I have been with coming out of the amateur ranks, and the sky is the limit."
