In the traditional weekly press conference of the WBC, Carlos Blandon, attorney and manager Román “Chocolatito” González, was recognized for his outstanding work alongside the four division world champion.
Carlos is a person who came into Roman’s life as a blessing, since together with the Japanese promoter Akihiko Honda and the Teiken team, they have pushed him to be one of the best boxers and win multiple world titles.
The president of the WBC, Mauricio Sulaimán, commented: “Carlos is a person of integrity who came to the Chocolatito team for good, he has been in charge of keeping him concentrated and focused, as well as advising him and being with him in good and bad times.
“This afternoon we want to recognize Carlos as a promoter of the career of a great champion and we present him with a certificate of excellence for his outstanding contribution to boxing. Also, I want to give him this mini replica of the WBC champion belt for his next child that he will have,”
Carlos Blandón commented: “I want to thank God for allowing me to be here on this day. Very grateful to be in Mexico and for all the hospitality. Everything happens for a reason. With a great joint effort with Teiken, great things have been done in Chocolatito’s career. He is a great person, he is a Christian and a good citizen.
“I don’t forget the time we met Mauricio Sulaimán. It was in 2014 when we defeated Akira Yaegashi. Roman was very excited to be able to emulate the achievements of Alexis Arguello and to win the WBC Green and Gold title. It was a dream of all of us as a team and we have been reaping victories over time”.
“We greatly appreciate Mexican boxing, we admire Chiquita González, a historic small weight who has paved the way for all little weights in boxing. I did not expect this honor and I thank you very much for this recognition”.
