Growing up in Cebu, Philippines in the City of Mandaue, Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta has always cherished one important thing in life, Family.  He was raised by Anecito Gesta Sr., a Professional Muay Thai Fighter that once represented the Philippines in tournaments across Asia.  It was Anecito Sr. who instilled the thrill and fight in Mercito to pursue his dreams in becoming a Professional boxer.

Alongside of Anecito Sr., was always Mercito’s mother, Mercy Gesta who supported her husband and fighting family.  This fighting family not only included Anecito Sr and Mercito, but sister Daisy Gesta and younger brother Dondon “Mokz” Gesta who both competed in Muay Thay matches and tournaments around their province in the Philippines.

Today, with the continued family bond, support, and guidance by Anecito Sr, Mercy, Dondon, Daisy, and Coach Vince Parra, Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta is on his way to the most important fight of his life.  On December 8, 2012 on the undercard for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV, Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta will challenge the current IBF Lightweight Champion Miguel Vazquez for his 135lb title.
