Olympic gold drives Paalam
MANILA, Philippines — Carlo Paalam bagged a silver in flyweight boxing at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and now in Paris, he’s going for gold as a featherweight. It’s a leap from 52kg to 57kg but Paalam is facing the challenge of moving up in weight class head on. Paalam begins his quest in the Round of 16 against Ireland’s Jude Gallagher at the Arena Paris Nord in Villepinte on Wednesday.
