ALA Gym warrior Czar Amonsot apparently tried to cut short his professional boxing career in 2007 after suffering a subdural hemorrhage in a brutal and bloody war, in which he lost to Australian combatant Michael “The Great” Katsidis via unanimous decision.
However, the young Boholano fighter sees that as water under the bridge and he is set to fight Indonesian Zoel Fidal in a fight card headlined by fellow ALA boy AJ “Bazooka” Banal on Jan. 31 in Tagbilaran City.
Amonsot is raring to be back on the ring. He frequently begged his handlers, the Cebuano boxing promoter Antonio Aldeguer and his son Michael, to give him a fight, but they consistently declined his plea because of their concern for the boxer’s health.
Cleared
Nevertheless, Amonsot will be back doing what he does best, boxing. His neurologist cleared him last August after finding no trace of clot in his brain.
“We weren’t sure if we would let him return, because our main concern is his safety. But he was already cleared by the doctor,” Michael, the ALA Promotions president disclosed to Sun.Star Cebu yesterday.
Even before he was cleared to fight, Amonsot was very determined to step into the battlefield once more because he kept himself fit by jogging and training in a gym in Bohol. He had been trying to project a better image.
“Right now he’s a more improved Amonsot. He has changed his lifestyle. He got married, and trained secretly by himself in Bohol,” said the younger Aldeguer.
Calculated
The former World Boxing Organization Asia Pacific super featherweight champion returned to training at the ALA Gym in September for his January fight, and has been sparring with Z “The Dream” Gorres, James Bacon, and Jomanz Omanz.
Michael believes that Amonsot has learned a lot since his temporary retirement, and said that he has been impressive in his
training sessions at the ALA Gym.
“He is more mature now. His punches are more calculated. I think he has learned a lot. So far he looks good in training,” said the promoter.
Amonsot has a professional boxing slate of 18 wins, three losses, and a draw, with 10 knockouts, while Fidal has 16 victories, six defeats, and two draws, with seven knockouts.
Fidal has fought the likes of former World Boxing Association super bantamweight titleholder Somsak Sithchatchawal, up and coming Australian fighter William Kickett and Simson Butar-Butar, who owns Amonsot’s other two career losses.
