Green and Gold Christmas Fiesta

Embraced by the hospitality of Sport and Chips, the WBC family enjoyed its traditional Martes de Café conference.

This time on Wednesday, it happened, not only to talk about all the boxing activity, but also to celebrate Christmas festivities with the champions and Mexican media stalwarts.

Tucking into the hearty traditional year-end breakfast, the WBC family enjoyed great camaraderie. No shortage of anecdotes, jokes and memories. As WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán, commented:

“This year has been magnificent for sport. New champions and we made history with the Convention in Uzbekistan. We celebrated out 60th anniversary, but also difficult moments, as it was a year where we said goodbye to so many friends.

“However, today we are here celebrating boxing, life and unity, bidding farewell to a year for which we only owe gratitude.

“For my father Don José Sulaimán, the commitment of the WBC was always to be the helping hand of the boxers, to open the doors to everyone and make them feel that this is their home and today I want to reiterate to you that is and will continue to be my mission.

“For the Sulaiman family, Christmas has always been a very special date, of being together but also a moment of reflection where we have a new opportunity to close and open new cycles and thereby become a better version of ourselves.

“Thank you all for being here, for being part of the WBC, for your loyalty and your tireless work, I sincerely wish you a great 2024.”

Enthused with the joy and vivid memories of a great 2023, our world champions who were the special guests of this event, shared with those present their festive joy.

World champions Jessica Nery Plata, Erika Cruz plus Irma García and via zoom Kenia Enríquez, Yamileth Mercado and Asley González.

They reiterated their commitment to continue being the best and especially to raise the name of Mexico.

Green and Gold Champions Rey Vargas and Alex Santiago agreed that the best gift for this Christmas is to have health and bask in the company of loved ones.

The champions Rafael Espinoza, Adrián Curiel and Emanuel Navarrete joined the good wishes of their colleagues, thanking the top leader of the organization for inviting them to this memorable celebration. As Mauricio pointed out, it’s not just a party just for the WBC, but spanning, encompassing and embracing all boxing, for those who make it possible for Mexico’s name to brightly shine.

To conclude the celebration and after watching a marvelous video, lauding the very best of 2023, the President f the WBC launched the Christmas raffle that this time included our champions… and always the press!
