NOVOA HANGS UP HIS GLOVES

Osvaldo “Gallito” Novoa has announced his retirement from boxing.

“Today I make a tough decision, I say goodbye to boxing, I had a short boxing career but I achieved the goal of being a world champion. Thanks to everyone for wonderful support,” he commented on social networks.

Novoa was crowned WBC minimum world champion in February 2014, knocking out China’s Xiong Zhao Zhong.  Novoa put on a great fight that night, showing his great heart and aggressiveness,  by knocking out his opponent in the fifth round.

The World Boxing Council wishes Osvaldo great success in his future plans.
