Boxing manager Jim Claude Manangquil of Sanman Promotions assisted Basadre in his victory in Kanazawa, Japan, and could not be more proud of his pupil as more challenges line up for the promising young fighter born in Cagayan de Oro.

"Daryl (Basadre) was in great shape for this fight here in Japan as he trained really hard at the Sanman Gym in Gensan and this is the result. Daryl overpowered his opponent, did a really great work tonight," shared Manangquil.
