In boxing, Carlo Paalam captured the men’s bantamweight gold in the ASBC Asian Elite Boxing Championships in Amman, Jordan after pulling off a 4-1 split decision win over top seed Makhmud Sabyrkhan of Kazakhstan in the finals

Three jiu jitsu exponents, bannered by five-year-old cutie Aleia Aielle Aguilar, also shared the spotlight in bagging golds in the World Jiu Jitsu Festival in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The daughter of wrestling chief Alvin and May Masuda, the country’s first women’s world jiu jitsu champion, became the youngest world jiu jitsu champ in topping the Kids 1 girls white belt 16-kilogram -B division.

The young Aguilar’s accomplishment was one of a trio of golds captured by the Filipina grapplers, with Meggie Ochoa and Kimberly Custodio topping the women’s 48-kg and 45-kg divisions, respectively, in the global jiu jitsu showcase.
