What an incredible weekend at the Eindhoven Box Cup. 

The tournament was a tremendous success, showcasing world class boxing and an exceptional level of competition. 

Beyond the action in the ring, it was also a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with boxing friends, leaders, and partners from across the globe who gathered in the Netherlands.

It was a pleasure to watch the exciting bouts alongside Matt Holt, Martin Volke, André Bolhuis, and Len Huard. The matches provided the perfect preparation for the upcoming continental and world championships.

A special highlight was reconnecting with Marcus Jarwin Manalo, who is now leading Philippine Boxing together with a strong team on the road to the Asian Games. 

Together with my wife, Ingeborg van der Vorst, founder of the NO GIRLS NO GLORY foundation, we have already explored opportunities for a NO GIRLS NO GLORY project in the Philippines next year.

Together with our daughter Teddy, we truly enjoyed the outstanding organization and the fantastic atmosphere in Eindhoven.

Another memorable moment was seeing former Team NL head coach Hennie van Bemmel deservedly honored and knighted for his tremendous contribution to Dutch boxing. 

Deep respect.
