I picked up a copy of the January 2019 issue of the London magazine Boxing Monthly at a Barnes and Noble store in Las Vegas the other day and WBA welterweight champion Sen. Manny Pacquiao was on the cover. More and more Filipinos are knocking on the door that could lead to a world title, a sign that the outlook is bright for the country in the sport. Pacquiao will be the first to acknowledge if the end of his career is near. Scott wrote about Ancajas’ hard road to glory, training in unglamorous conditions and agreeing to a small purse for the chance to win a world title. Now, Ancajas has his own training digs called Survival Camp in Magallanes, Cavite and Scott said Ancajas owes a lot to his manager Joven Jimenez for guiding him to succeed.
