Diamonds are forever \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 During the Monday night WBC Uzbekistan Awards Dinner, at the beautiful Osiyo Grand Banquet \u00a0Hall in Tashkent, the pertinent bejeweled and humorous question from El Gran Campeon Julio Cesar Chavez, as he was presented with a magnificent Green and Gold Eternity Belt, recognizing his legendary career\u2026\u201dAre these diamonds real?<\/p>\n

Certainly the decor, especially the chandeliers had a special sheen and flawless \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0gleam in a spectacular event hosted by Gafur Rahimov, First Vice President of the county\u2019s Professional Boxing Federation.<\/p>\n

The tambor marathon dancing was an extended \u00a0treat to behold, \u00a0as was the traditional dancing. Julio announced the WBC\u2019s Fighter of the Year Saul Canelo, who appreciably racked up his phone bill with a call to the festivities.<\/p>\n

Evander Holyfield and Oleksandr Usyk won specially engraved plates as did Champion of Hope Billy Dib. So did Kostya Tszyu and Roberto Stone Hands Duran.<\/p>\n

The music and singing grew in tempo and intensity, so that no one took much notice when the song Hit the Road Jack cropped up.<\/p>\n

The only one who had slim pickings and meager fare was WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman, \u00a0who was rushed off his feet in the job of compere and prize awarder. Everyone else was pampered.<\/p>\n

As Oscar Wilde once observed: \u201cToo \u00a0much of a good thing\u2026is delightful!<\/p><\/div>\n
