The World Boxing Council and its President Mauricio Sulaiman are honored and delighted to congratulate our “Rieleros” as we affectionately call all those who work in the National Railways, on their one hundred and eleventh anniversary.
At the self same time, we send a warm greeting to Mr. Víctor Flores, National Secretary of the Union of Railway Workers of the Mexican Republic, who has kindly supported many boxers, several of whom have reached the highest levels of the sport by becoming world champions.
The anniversary has been annually celebrated since an heroic feat in 1907, when one of the workers, Jesus Garcia Corona detoured a train loaded with dynamite, averting a big risk to the population.
