MANILA, Philippines – Filipino boxer Charly Suarez, the only Filipino member of the Italia Thunder boxing team, won his second victory in the World Series of Boxing (WSB) against the USA Knockouts last January 12 at the Mediolanum Forum Stadium in Milan, Italy, the Department of Foreign Affairs said in a news release.

The DFA said Suarez, a Davao native, enjoyed the support of the Filipino crowd there and even drew cheers from the foreign audience.

He competed against Anvar Yunusov of Tajikistan, a bronze medal winner from the World Championships in 2011.

Suarez holds two silver medals from the 2012 Asian Olympic Qualifier and the 2001 Southeast Asian Games
