WBC’s message to the boxing community

Attend to enjoy the show, don’t be the one who gives it, so let’s celebrate our return to the stands with responsibility.

The opportunity to open the shows to the public, is a source of great joy and also of important reflection.

Let us recognize the enormous importance and significance that the presence of the fans in the arenas and stadiums has for everyone.

It is devastating for officials, businessmen and authorities, to develop an event with empty seats. That atrocious silence accompanied by the echo of the voices in the ring shows once again that every boxer is undoubtedly linked to fans. The encouragement of support motivates boxers to give their best in the quest for success.

Now that the fans are gradually being allowed to attend, the WBC wishes to share with you two very important reflections.

The health of society and its members depends upon maintaining the sanitary measures required by the authorities. Its relaxation or non-observance will affect us individually and in general. We need to maintain common sense in all activities. Moderation in consumption and respect for other attendees is the essence of a healthy coexistence.

We fully understand that this confinement imposed many limitations on us and that you want to quickly make up time, but beyond that, nothing justifies or explains inappropriate behaviors that alter the order, tranquility and safety of everyone.

We also know that by fulfilling these minimum sensible requirements, we will be able to make our sport a family space worth attending.

Please dear friend, never forget that your presence in the stands is the most important thing for us and that we want you to attend to enjoy the show.
