Hublot’s Championship Effort to Help Boxers in Need<\/strong><\/h2>\n

World Boxing Council Lifetime President Jose Sulaiman was deeply concerned about the plight of former boxers Worldwide, who`d fallen upon hard times, experiencing poverty and suffering poor health. He was absolutely determined that they wouldn`t starve or languish in illness.<\/p>\n

Characteristically Don Jose transformed a dream into reality to help the boxer, who`d once held a hand aloft in victory, but now needed a helping hand.<\/p>\n

In 2012, teaming up with Hublot Watches, the manufacturer of finest Swiss Watches the WBC held an auction of the superb time pieces, which were presented by a dozen modern great boxers to the highest bidders, who dug deep. This initiative raised more than a million dollars!\u00a0 This has been ably, efficiently, humanely and independently administered by the Nevada Community Foundation. Those in most need have received vital help with living and health expenses.<\/p>\n

In 2019 another WBC\/Hublot Gala Dinner was held. Don Jose had passed away, but the heartfelt, kindness and decency was continued by WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman.<\/p>\n

It raised 1.2 million dollars for the Fund. The stars who attended this gala event were: Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Suger Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns, George Foreman, Vitali Klitschko, Oscar De La Hoya, Jeff Fenech, Hozumi Haseguawa and Lou Shiming.\u00a0 The event included a raffle, prizes and a silent auction. This couldn`t have happened without the magnificent help of Jean Claude Biver and Ricardo Guadalupe of Hublot.<\/p>\n

Dreams do come true!<\/p>\n
