Visibly moved after hearing the Mexico´s Police Anthem by band of the auxiliary security police, Juan was applauded by all his colleagues who gathered in the auditorium of the Institute of Higher Education for the Auxiliary Police.

Juan can only feel blessed and extremely lucky not only for the opportunities that life has given him but also for having a united and loving family that has always supported and strengthened him throughout.

Juan commented that being a high-performance athlete and a policeman go hand in hand since boxing is a demanding sport requiring a lot of discipline. He clarified that he has never used his boxing skills when wearing the uniform but his physical condition and fitness level has helped
