To be able to do the things he does, however, takes a lot of hard work and dedication. More importantly, it takes the right amount of motivation.
The 32-year-old Filipino firebrand says that every morning, he gets a big boost of self-confidence from the people closest to him.
“I think that’s the best way to start any day. I want to spend as much time as I can with them before heading off to training. Breakfast in the mornings is something that I look forward to every day because it means I can be with my family early.”
After fueling up at home in anticipation of a long day of training ahead, Belingon heads over to the Team Lakay gym which is situated a good 30 minutes away from Baguio City center. Here he spends time with his other family, his brothers-in-arms at the renowned Team Lakay.
There, he works on honing his skills, sharpening the tools he will take into battle in his next bout.
Belingon is scheduled to defend his ONE Bantamweight World Title against rival and former titleholder Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes in one of three co-main events to be held at ONE: A NEW ERA, 31 March at the iconic Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo Japan.
Belingon is dedicating the bout to both of his families in what will be the most significant challenge of his career thus far.
