GREATEST BOXERS WITH THE GREATEST HEART

Boxers don’t always spend their money on meaningless things or luxuries.  Sometimes some they choose to invest, and others decide to donate. Some decide to do it for organizations, for their own city that saw them born or for natural disasters.

Here some of the boxers who have shown us that they not only have big fists but also a big hearts.

He had 1,000 homes built for the poorest in Kibawe, his hometown. “It makes me very happy to give, from my own pocket, these houses at no cost to my countrymen from the province of Sarangani. In this way, more than a thousand families will benefit.”
