The WBC Mercosur to México III tournament was held with 52 dates registered all on Boxrec, Sunday to Sunday, during a year during a tournament that will go down in history as the longest competition in Uruguay`s history.

There are already three editions of this famous tournament that started in 2015 with Mercosur 1; The tournament has been such a magnificent and sustained success, with the 4th edition currently ongoing. The tournament winners are gaining prestige in Uruguay and most importantly, the opportunity to travel to Mexico to train with great champions and face the finest amateur fighters throughout the region in a special tournament.

This brilliant amateur campaign, boxing was the inspiration of Life President José Sulaimán who, in various conversations with Sampson Lewkowicz, saw and identified the shortcomings of amateur boxing and that is how a special program came to be developed.

The six promising young people who won the Mercosur 3 Rumbo a Mexico Tournament: Sofía Cáceres (17 years old). Joaquin Faccio (18 years old). Mauricio Marquez (22 years old).

The youngsters are training in the gym of the WBC featherweight champion, Rey Vargas, where they are working and learning with quality Mexican sparring partners. In addition to that, the former WBC Latino champion, Osvaldo “Chucky” Razón has become an essential part of this training bonanza, guiding them, ahead of the scheduled fights on March 11.

We greatly appreciate the tremendous work done by Sampson Lewkowicz, Sergio Márquez, Roberto Palermo and all those involved in organizing the Mercosur 3 CUBAP tournament. This wonderful commitment to youth is unmatched and an inspired commitment to the future.

The team members traveled to the south of Mexico City to be part of the WBC Coffee Tuesday. They talked about their experiences, thanked the boxing community for this support and asked everyone to attend their fights on March 11.

They then travelled to the gym of the World Boxing Council offices in the north of CDMX to continue their meticulous preparations in the company of trainer, Osvaldo Razón.
