Philipino Boxer Killed in Crash

Filipino boxer Leopoldo Cantancio, a two-time Asian Games medallist, has been killed in a motorcycle crash.
The 54-year-old former lightweight boxer was riding home to Bago City to train his team in the Panaad Boxing Tournament on Friday.
Philippine Olympic Committee President Ricky Vargas, also head of the Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines, has expressed his sympathies to Cantancio’s family.
Cantancio had won a silver medal at the 1986 Asian Games in Seoul and a bronze medal at the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing.
He also competed for the Philippines at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles Where he lost in the quarter-final to South Korea's Chun Chil-Sung.
He also fought at the 1988 Olympic Games at Seoul but beaten in the first round by the Soviet Union's Kostya Tszyu.
The Russian, who later emigrated to Australia, held multiple world championships at light-welterweight, including the undisputed and lineal titles of that division between 2001 and 2005.
