The New Cebu Coliseum, commonly called and known by locals as Cebu Coliseum, is an indoor arena in Cebu City, Philippines. It hosts various sports events and concerts in Cebu and is the primary venue for CESAFI games. On August 4, 1962, one of the very first events it hosted was a fight between hometown hero Gabriel "Flash" Elorde and Japanese boxer Terou Kosaka. It was their second of their four fights in a span of 4 years (1961-1965). Despite baring "new" in its name, it is the only structure in Cebu with such name.
