A post shared by Mercito "No Mercy" Gesta (@therealmgesta)

Mercito Gesta was born on 12 October 1987 to a sporting family. His father Anecito was a professional Muay Thai MMA fighter and he has also served as his coach and mentor from a tender age. There is no record of his mother being a professional fighter but she has supported the career passions of her husband and the family.

Meanwhile, Mercito’s older brother, Anecto Jr. is also a professional boxer. Interesting isn’t it? But in case you were thinking that’s the last on the list of fighters in Mercito’s house, you are wrong. His sister is also a fighter and he has posted a throwback picture on his IG about when he used to be staying by his sister’s corner during her Muay Thai matches in the Philippines.

A Quick Look at His Boxing Career

Gesta started boxing at age 15, but he never competed in amateur bouts. Instead, he made his professional debut on October 19, 2003, defeating Edwin Picardal by unanimous decision.

The brilliant and perseverant kid made a name for himself in the local Filipino fight scene, going 10-0-1 before relocating to the US and continuing his ascent to the top of the professional boxing world.

Gesta started competing and defeating tougher opponents in the United States, and by 2010, he had won the vacant NABO Youth lightweight title by knocking out Oscar Meza in the fourth round.

Following eight more victories, the unbeaten fighter was given the chance to compete for the world championship on December 8, 2012, against Miguel Vazquez. After suffering his first defeat, Gesta needed some time to recover from the cunning Vazquez’s unanimous decision victory over him.

After knocking out Edgar Riovalle and Luis Arceo 16 months later, he returned to the ring and fought fellow contender Carlos Molina in an exciting 10-round contest that was adjudged a draw.
