My dad used to tell us that boxing shows were like the Cinderella story. So many preparations for a long time to get to the dance, in this case to the fight, and suddenly everything vanishes at the stroke of midnight or the final bell of the fight. I believe that this story was told by Don King.
I arrived in England just the day of the press conference. Fury and Chisora faced off at Tottenham Stadium, a huge media contingency turned to cover the event, dozens of cameras, a lot of movement, interviews, great attention to everything that was happening. The hotel, full of people from the world of boxing. A great group from South Africa and other countries with undercard fighters, ring officials from the Philippines, Panama, France, Serbia and the entire UK community.
Oleksandr Usyk, the WBO-IBF-WBA world heavyweight champion, arrived to be present and warm up the possible next fight expected by the whole world, since it would be the first time that the heavyweight was unified in the era of the four belts.

We did a visit with WBC Cares to a group from Tottenham, called Gloves Up Knives Down. In this country there is a serious problem of violence and knife murders, since firearms practically do not exist on the streets. This club is dedicated to receive and welcome youngsters from four to 13 years old to train boxing, kickboxing and box fitness. The coaches become their guides and mentors, in the company of many parents, who share the afternoons with their children seeking a future with education and without violence. Geraldine Davies, Scott Welch and David Walker run WBC Cares UK, and they do a wonderful job. I had the opportunity to talk and mingle with a large number of young people and their families, we trained together and they all went home with a special gift to commemorate a very special day.
