“Sulaimán a 12 Rounds”: An Unprecedented Glimpse into the History and Legacy of the WBC

A new literary milestone in the sports world has emerged. “Sulaimán a 12 Rounds” is an untold testimony that documents the origins, development, and consolidation of the World Boxing Council (WBC), narrated by those who lived the story from the inside: the Sulaimán Saldívar family.

Unlike other biographies, this book is written by Mauricio Sulaimán, President of the WBC, in collaboration with his siblings: Pepe, Héctor, Fernando, Claudia, and Lucy. Throughout its pages, they reveal what it was like to grow up in an environment where boxing was not just a job, but a lifestyle that ultimately defined the structure of the most influential organization in global sports.

The work pays a deeply human tribute to Don José Sulaimán Chagnón, whose leadership transformed the rules of boxing to protect the integrity of the fighter—all seen through the eyes of his children, who served as his fundamental support system.

For boxing fans, historians, and the general public, the first printed edition in Mexico of “Sulaimán a 12 Rounds” is now available for immediate purchase. This exclusive edition can be acquired through the official Heraldo Ediciones store:
