When 22-year-old Alvin Salinas swapped textbooks for boxing gloves, he knew the road to greatness wouldn’t be easy. But with two legendary mentors by his side, this Macao-born fighter is ready to make history.
Alvin’s coach, Ng Kuok Kun (aka 'The Macao Kid'), knows a thing or two about victory—he’s a former Asian boxing champion. Then there’s 90-year-old Chan Iok Seng, a trainer who’s shaped fighters for 60+ years. Together, they’re rewriting Macao’s sports story—one punch at a time.
As Alvin gears up for his pro debut, he’s learning that boxing isn’t just about strength. 'It’s about respecting the craft,' he says, nodding to Chan’s old-school drills and Ng’s strategic genius. Their bond? Thicker than a championship belt.
Why does this trio matter? They’re proof that in a city better known for casinos than knockouts, tradition and grit still pack a punch. Follow Alvin’s journey as he steps into the ring—and carries Macao’s hopes with him.
