Round 12: The marked contrasts in today\u00b4s boxing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Mauricio Sulaim\u00e1n \/ Son of Jos\u00e9 Sulaim\u00e1n \/ President of the WBC<\/p>\n

The boxers who will participate in the Tokyo 2020 + 1 Olympic Games are being announced and, in many cases, the lowest participation of boxers in history for some traditional boxing countries.<\/p>\n

For example, the United States has only secured six tickets to be present : four women and two men.The outlook for Mexico is dismally disastrous, because until today Mexico only has the representation of a single fighter: Esmeralda Falc\u00f3n Reyes, in the 60 kg category.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is mostly due to the cancellation of various competitions that would be the qualifying rounds, in order to achieve their pass to compete in the Olympics. The special committee in charge of boxing for the Olympic Games decided to grant the tickets based on the rankings that had been established some time ago…<\/p>\n

Amateur boxing is going through the worst crisis in the history of our sport around the world, and it was not the pandemic that caused this, but the mismanagement of the international federation in charge of leading this sport, in the amateur field, worldwide, with the approval of the International Olympic Committee.<\/p>\n

AIBA had a change of presidency, and with the entry of Dr. Wu everything changed. This body began a process of seeking to control world boxing, including the professional sphere; The athlete and the sport itself ceased to count, with money, business and commercial matters being the only thing that mattered. They started a professional boxing league, signing the participating fighters, being managers, promoters and more, in a very serious lack of everything that Olympism represents, and representing also an unacceptable conflict of interest in boxing.<\/p>\n

There were also very regrettable scandals with the performance of judges and referees, leaving boxing with a tarnished image and fragile credibility before the IOC.<\/p>\n

Today AIBA is not recognized by the IOC and the discipline of boxing is in the charge of a special committee, appointed by the Olympic body itself. There is great concern about the future of our sport in terms of its administration and permanence in the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

While this is happening in the amateur world , professional boxing is going through a golden era. The year began with a great fight, when on January 2 Ryan Garc\u00eda got off the canvas to knock out Luke Campbell, and from there have been great fights that have thrilled the fans week after week.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday there was a great fight of constant action, and Brandon Figueroa knocked out the hitherto undefeated and monarch in two divisions, Luis Nery, proclaiming himself in this way WBC world champion in super bantamweight category.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
