FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHILADELPHIA (August 31, 2009)—through the years, boxing has been built on fans getting behind fighters of a particular ethnic group. Over the past few years, a rabid fan base of Filipino boxing fans has emerged with the success of Manny Pacquiao.

On Friday September 11th, another “Pinoy” will try to emerge as the next great fighter of Filipino heritage as Jason Sia will make his pro debut as he takes on Deroy Beaton in a four round Jr. Welterweight bout at the Legendary Blue Horizon in North Philadelphia.

Sia, who trains at Shulers Gym in West Philadelphia amassed an amateur record of 25-4 is trained by former IBF Jr. Middleweight champion Robert “Bam Bam” Hines

Sia was born in Manila and he came to the United States at the age of four. He was raided in Los Angeles and a school counselor suggested that Sia take up the Sweet Science. Sia took a boxing class and the rest was history.

Sia then started training at the famed La Brea Gym in Los Angeles before heading east to Philadelphia.
