During this week we have remembered with love and respect Don José Sulaimán, Lifetime President of the World Boxing Council, ten years after his passing.
Born in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, he became the most brilliant innovative character in boxing. Mr Boxing.
However, his legacy goes far beyond the rings, as something that distinguished Don José was his passion for serving, helping and lending a hand to those who needed it most. 10 years after his departure, his values, actions and example still and will continue to guide the actions of all of us who are part of the World Boxing Council Family.
Today, as part of the actions in tribute to Don José, the WBC and the Sulaimán Family received a unique and invaluable gift from His Holiness Pope Francis, who dedicated an emotional message to the memory of our President for life, Don José Sulaimán Chagnón .
With great pride and love, we share with you his message:
“I know that today marks 10 years since the death of Don José Sulaimán Chagnon. Please, I would like to send greetings to Héctor, Mauricio and family. I pray for them and for the Eternal Rest of Don José.”
We are more than especially grateful to Pope Francis. His holiness left us with a heart full of energy, motivation and passion to get up every day of our lives with the firm intention of making this world a better place.
Agradecemos en forma más que especial al Papa Francisco, dejándonos un corazón lleno de energía, motivación y pasión para levantarnos cada día de nuestras vidas con la firme intención de hacer de este mundo un lugar mejor.
