No explanation and other details were issued regarding Torre’s relief.

Reporters also sought Torre’s comment, but he has yet to respond as of posting time.

Torre recently made rounds on social media for his charity boxing match against acting Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, where he was declared the winner by default after Duterte failed to show up.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. himself joked about the matter during his State of the Nation Address, where he hailed the country’s boxing heroes before including Torre — calling him the new boxing champion.
