Early years edit

Juan Martin Elorde is the eldest of the three sons of Johnny Elorde, and the grandson of Gabriel Elorde. His brother Juan Miguel Elorde is also a boxer. The other is Nico Elorde, a professional Basketball player in the Philippines playing in the PBA.

Elorde and his brothers were introduced to boxing by his father as a way to induce discipline.[1] He started fighting in amateur boxing at age 15 and eventually won gold medal in the national open.[2]

Notable fights edit

Bai defeated Indonesian Musa Letding to win the vacant WBO Oriental Lightweight title via unanimous decision on 25 March 2016. Bai had a tough time closing in on Letding but was able to counter the latter by his stinging jabs. He won 98-92 in all of the judges' score cards.[3] The title is Elorde's second regional title. The previous was the WBO Asia Pacific Super Featherweight title he held from March 2013 to March 2016.
