Team Lakay ready for ONE resurgence

By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

Motivated to get back what once was theirs, Team Lakay has remained focused and is putting in the hard work.

Losing three world-title belts last year, head coach Mark Sangiao is eager to reclaim their snatched championships and put it back behind their banner.

Sangiao’s top sluggers, Eduard “The Landslide” Folayang, Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio, and Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon, who were all dethroned last year, are already gearing up in case they get called up for a title fight.

“The good thing about it is that they stayed locked in and never really relaxed, even though we’re in a quarantine period. Their fitness levels are very good. I am happy they did their part as athletes during ECQ and they were even posting home workouts on social media,” Sangiao said.

Meanwhile, the only member of Team Lakay who defended his belt successfully, Joshua “The Passion” Pacio, decided to stay in Team Lakay’s gym to make sure he can focus on his training.

“Joshua and the others are already living here in the gym, in-house. The plan now is to build up again, train hard, and refocus. As much as possible, we want to pick up where we left off,” Sangiao added.
