Again, very sad news in the boxing family, as our dear friend and renowned sports journalist Arturo “Rudo” Rivera has passed away.
Arturo was for many years a sports chronicler, radio announcer, specialist in wrestling and boxing. He also created a YouTube channel where he shared his rich sourced sport experiences. “Rudo” covered many boxing events and Conventions of the World Boxing Council, always performing his job with great professionalism, finesse, intelligence, wit and wonderful flamboyant panache. What a character and what a Man!
Arturo had been hospitalized for a week, since a few months ago his health deteriorated due to a bacterial infection.
The entire World Boxing Council family and its President Mauricio Sulaimán, send our deepest condolences to the family and so many friends of Arturo. They and we have lost one of our very own and an irreplaceable Great.
Rest in peace Dear Friend. You are forever remembered with love, respect and joy. We are so very fortunate that you came our way.
