Mendoza: Boxing is a vehicle for improvement

Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, president of the World Boxing Association, visited the radio Ondas de la Montaña (Mountain waves) in Medellin, Antioquia, Colombia to talk about boxing “as a vehicle of social improvement” and present boxing environment with journalist Jorge Alberto Garcia.

In general, it gives them the possibility to have a healthy life style”, said Mendoza and added: “In Venezuela, we managed to have many young people who studied and trained. Not all of them were successful as fighters, but today they are good trainers and managers or went to college to get a degree.” Continue reading “Mendoza: Boxing is a vehicle for improvement”
