PNP Chief Nicolas Torre III Starts Boxing Training
MANILA, Philippines — Philippine National Police Chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III has officially started his training for the highly anticipated boxing match against acting Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte. The four-word keyphrase, PNP Chief Nicolas Torre III, reflects the central figure in this upcoming event.
At Camp Crame in Quezon City, Gen. Torre shared with reporters during his workout, “We are ready anytime.” He is balancing his training with sparring sessions and conditioning, demonstrating his commitment to the challenge.
From Cadet to Boxer: Torre’s Athletic Roots
The 54-year-old PNP Chief revealed that he has a background in various sports from his cadet days. “We refreshed ourselves a bit on what we used to,” he said, showing his determination to regain his former athleticism for the match.
Boxing Challenge Issued by Mayor Duterte
Last Sunday, Mayor Baste Duterte publicly challenged Gen. Torre to a fistfight during his podcast. Torre accepted the challenge, but with a twist — he proposed that the bout be a charity event benefiting victims of the recent southwest monsoon.
This charity angle has added a meaningful purpose to the match beyond the rivalry, highlighting a spirit of unity and support for those affected by natural disasters.
Background and Context
Notably, Gen. Torre was the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group director when he led the arrest of Mayor Duterte’s father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, last March. This history adds complexity and public interest to the upcoming boxing match.
Local sources noted that the training is progressing steadily, with both parties showing readiness. The event has captured the attention of many Filipinos who are eager to see the friendly but intense showdown.
