DAVAO CITY -- Red Boxing International of Rey “Cacoi” Almirante Rodis II extended an insurance policy to its two current professional boxers Recky “The Terror” Dulay and Rey “Technician” Perez.
Both Dulay and Perez are now insured with the AETNA Insurance Company.
“Boxing is a contact sport. If something happened to them, their family will get financial assistance,” said Rodis, a grandson of the late boxing promoter-manager Dr. Antonio Almirante from Cagayan de Oro and a nephew of former WBC world super featherweight champion Rene Barrientos.
Cacoi’s father Rey Rodis Sr. is also a former boxing promoter in CDO and Cebu.
“I want my boxer’s family to be also secured in case something happened on our boxers,” Rodis said.
Dulay (10W-3L-0D, 7 KOs) and Perez (21W-8L-0D, 6KOs) signed their insurance policies with AETNA representative Bobby Gevero.
“We don’t cut corners. We take care of our fighters,” Rodis added.
“Timely kaayo ni pag kuha namo ug insurance kay my namatay na boxer sa Pilipinas (This insurance is very timely because a boxer had just died in the Philippines),” Rodis said.
Jeffrey Claro of Palawan died last Sunday after he collapsed during a sparring session in Manila last Friday.
Claro was part of the group that was found to have fake CT scan and was asked by the Games and Amusements Board to submit a new CT Scan with plates included.
Claro’s license was never revoked, but he was not allowed to have professional fights until he submits a new CT Scan.
He was scheduled to fight but was postponed twice. Claro (1W-4L-OD) was due for first week November promotion that is why he started practicing. (Lito delos Reyes/PNA)
