World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman is urging the Ukrainian Delegation at the WBC’s 57th Convention to set aside political differences and attend next year’s Convention which will be in St Petersburg, Russia 14-20th September.
The Ukraine Delegation said St Petersburg is a beautiful City, but… the two nations are currently at war.
Mauricio Sulaiman drew applause from the Convention which includes representatives from 166 nations as he encouraged everyone to rise above politics and consider sports as a bridge. He mentioned that the Kiev Convention last year had welcomed everyone without exception.
