Mauricio Sulaiman\u00b4s comprehensive and superb presentation at the Sports Summit Mexico 2020<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>World Boxing Council President \u00a0Mauricio Sulaiman, presented an insightful lecture at the Sports Summit M\u00e9xico 2020, the largest business and innovation event in Latin America, that takes place on the 26th and 27<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> February.<\/span><\/p>\n

The topics embraced \u00a0sports rights, fan engagement, business intelligence, digital developments, virtual reality, anti-piracy, e-sports and technology science topics, which were thoroughly discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The President of the WBC began the lecture, beside \u00a0commentator and boxing analyst, Carlos Aguilar, presenting a \u00a0video of the WBC.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s patently obvious \u00a0that the \u00a0WBC is so much more than an organization \u00a0which \u00a0sanctions fights. The World Boxing Council is: Unity, togetherness, the best champions in history are part of it, culture, innovation, generosity, social responsibility, equality and global inclusion. The WBC is Nelson Mandela, it`s \u00a0Pope Francis … it is hope and it generates glory.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Initially, President Mauricio Sulaiman outlined that the WBC \u00a0currently works with three core \u00a0programs: Weight care, the Clean Boxing Program and fighting against mismatches.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, he mentioned that the reduction of rounds and switching the day of final weigh in, prior to fight night, \u00a0have been the most important changes the WBC has presented, since they have not only helped guide \u00a0innovative development of the sport and the care of the boxer, but have saved the life of many boxers in the process, over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>For the President \u00a0of the organization, it is imperative to make use of the new and available technological tools for sports, which is why the WBC is working to make boxing safer with new rules and processes. He added that a topic on which they have placed great emphasis, \u00a0is the nutritional, psychological and financial education of all the fighters, as these are fundamental aspects that they need to maintain during their career.<\/span><\/p>\n

He stressed that boxing, as well as other sports, are important and essential for Mexican society because they fulfill vital social functions \u00a0to combat many problems, such as obesity linked to sedentary lifestyle, addictions, while generating and fostering \u00a0family integration, inspiring work ethic and dedication.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the world champions are the inspiration and example of many children and young people. \u00a0That is why \u00a0stories of overcoming adversity, such as the triumph of Tyson Fury must be told, as as we all know, he was the prey of drugs to the point of wanting to take his own life and today, \u00a0after more than two years, after standing at the gates of \u00a0hell, he`s \u00a0back, and has reached the pinnacle of success and with it fulfillment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mauricio also explained that the Clean Boxing Program is pioneering and \u00a0ambitious. Its main objective, apart from the tests, is to scrupulously educate athletes about the terrible danger and inevitable disadvantages that doping causes, in addition to the penalties for testing positive for prohibited substances., in or out of a competition. It is worth mentioning and remembering that the WBC was the first organization to implement mandatory doping tests in all championship fights since 1975, being a leader in boxing and in all sports regarding the safety of the fighters.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Mauricio Sulaiman it is very important to have a direct relationship with the boxers, to be in their corner and provide support, because many times, upon retirement or after losing a fight, these heroes are packed away into the trunk of memories and this is very harmful to them. For that reason, one of the primary \u00a0WBC\u00b4s goals is to stick with them, to be side by their side from their fledgling amateur days to their very last pro fight, and beyond into retirement.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another issue is the WBC’s unequivocal position on the call for professional boxers to participate in the Olympic Games and at this point, its \u00a0leader was crystal clear in stressing that it is totally unacceptable for established \u00a0world champions facing youngsters who are just at the beginning. This constitutes real risk and tangible danger. We are talking about the life and the destiny of a young person!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For this reason, the WBC wishes to raise awareness of the differences in amateur and professional boxing. The WBC took the decision to sanction all those boxers who participate in \u00a0the Olympic process or at the Olympics \u00a0with a 2-year ban.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, Mauricio Sulaiman was questioned by Carlos Aguilar about what is the formula and ethos which encourages all boxers to want to possess \u00a0the Green \u00a0and Gold Belt. \u00a0The recognition accolade that has been fastened around the waists of elite legendary fighters, historic characters, taken into space, and cradled by Pope Francis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a good question and I don’t know if I could say that the WBC has a formula, rather we have tried NOT to be an organization, but a FAMILY. My Dad Don Jos\u00e9, as he is known by all of you, always valued \u00a0human relationships, He treated everyone, every\u00a0 single person, like a high ranked fighter. He was always in the corner of the boxer, in the light of the reflectors and also in the shadows. The WBC has always been for them like a great tree that gives shade to all. There is an enduring among those who belong to this body that makes us strong.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can assure you that in the World Boxing Council we have the best champions in the world, the best fights and above all we maintain credibility and congruence \u00a0in what we do and in what we say. We have quality and quantity and, for us the main thing \u00a0is and always will be our boxers.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
