Here's a response I wrote to the assumption that FMA influenced Western boxing.

Short version: no evidence of it.

Outside of MAYBE the bolo punch, which is a non-standard punch.

and did the bolo punch originally Filipino? I heard it was named after a indigenous name of a sword originally found in the philippines

A filipino invented the bolo punch by imitating the bolo sword on sugar cane. is one example
