Linda Hayward captivates WBC Convention

Sylvester Stallone has won the World Boxing Council’s Man of the Year Award for his determined and persistent efforts in convincing President Donald Trump to grant and sign Jack Johnson a full postumous pardon, quashing a racially motivated criminal conviction.

But it was Jack’s jet lagged Great Niece Linda Hayward, who gave a magnificent speech to the World Boxing Convention in Kiev, after a grueling fifteen hour flight.

Linda who like Jack is fearless and charismatic, presented a copy of the Official Pardon signed by President Trump to Mauricio Sulaiman, who’d accompanied her to the Oval Office along with Deontay Wilder, Lennox Lewis and Sylvester Stallone.

Linda said: “I’m so overwhelmingly grateful and honored to be here. I want to thank all of you for honoring my Uncle. He paved the way for other champions to follow. It is my hope to establish a foundation in his name.”
