On a night of deep nostalgia and sporting pride, the book “Sulaimán a 12 Rounds” was officially presented at the Centro Libanés. The work is an unprecedented testimony documenting the origin, development, and consolidation of the World Boxing Council, narrated by those who lived the history 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. Through 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 defined the structure of the most influential organization in the sport globally.

The work pays a human tribute to Don José Sulaimán Chagnón, whose leadership transformed the rules of boxing to protect the integrity of the fighter, but seen from the perspective of his children as a fundamental support structure.

Following a successful debut at the Guadalajara International Book Fair, this presentation in Mexico City brought together legends of the ring, current champions, and prominent figures of the sport, who witnessed the formal delivery of this editorial collection featuring a prologue by the renowned writer Pedro Ángel Palou.

For boxing fans, historians, and the general public, the first Mexican print edition of “Sulaimán a 12 Rounds” is now available for immediate purchase exclusively through the official Heraldo Ediciones store:
