Boxing is not only an art of self defense but it is simply a sports that filipinos have been adapted in so many athletic events and gambling. After several years a lot of filipino boxers has emerged and become a champion. On June 18, 1923, Francisco ''Pancho Villa" beat Jimmy Wilde to become the world flyweight boxing champion and became the source of pride of the filipino people.
