Marcial began training in the US two months ago under the guidance of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach at Wild Card Gym in LA.

The Zamboanga City native turned pro after signing a six-year deal with MP (Manny Pacquiao) Promotions last July.

Marcial is also using his US training camp as buildup for his upcoming bid in next year’s Tokyo Olympics where he aims to deliver the Philippines’ first-ever gold medal.
