PNP Chief Nicolas Torre III was declared the winner by default in a charity boxing match.

Torre earlier agreed to face acting Davao City Mayor 'Baste' Duterte in the ring for a charity bout.

The 12-round match was scheduled to happen at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum today, Sunday.

However, Duterte flew to Singapore and failed to show up for the much-anticipated fight.

Torre said the event still pushed through because assistance must be given right away to those affected by the recent flooding in the metro caused by the enhanced Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.

Glen Borja claimed victory over Christian Tulayao, while Abdul Sherif Dimas defeated Daniel Baltazar in three-round bouts with each round lasting two minutes.

Although it was not officially announced, the scorecards showed that Daryl Sobretodo won against Niño Basco.

A charity boxing match is a boxing event organized to raise money for a cause or help people in need. The match may involve professional or amateur boxers, celebrities, or public figures.

The main purpose of the event is not to win a title, but to collect funds through ticket sales, sponsorships, or donations, which are then given to charity.
