MANILA, Philippines -- Filipino boxer Eumir Marcial has yet to apply for a professional license, the Games and Amusements Board said.

Marcial signed a six-year promotional deal with Manny Pacquiao's MP Promotions last July, with the first year of his contract focused on preparing him for his campaign in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics next year.

Speaking at the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum on Tuesday, GAB chairman Baham Mitra said they are still waiting for Marcial to file an application for his professional license.Mitra made it clear that Marcial will not be given "preferential treatment," despite his status as an Olympic qualifier. Like other boxers applying for licenses, he too will have to pass a medical exam.

"Siguro si Sir Marcial, siguro isang four, isang six, isang eight, pwede na mag-10, basta lahat panalo. At saka lahat medyo may say din 'yung kalaban," said Mitra.
