Miguel Estrada is a lean, punching machine.

“This kid hits like a tank,” said Marc Pagcaliwangan, a former champion boxer and co-owner of Boomerz Boxing Club in London. “He hits like a man who is 150 pounds.”

While 150lbs may not seem like a lot, it is for a light flyweight who weights in at 108lbs.

“I'll be on the bigger side of 108[lbs],” said Miguel, a graduate of London’s John Paul II Secondary School. “So I think I have a lot of power there. I just got to work on getting my man strength right now.”

Miguel, who just turned 18, is putting an end to his amateur boxing career and is set to turn professional early in 2024.

Pagcaliwangan believes his protégé is ready to fight professionally against much older competition.
