Promociones del Pueblo wins ‘Promoter of the Year’ in the youth field, for its support helping new talents of boxing, and for being an important platform to boost them.

This was determined by the Youth Committee of the World Boxing Council  during its annual convention, celebrated in Kyiv at the end of September.

World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaimán, presented the trophy to Ricardo Lozada, who attended on behalf of Reginaldo and Oswaldo Küchle, who lead  the proudly Mexican company.  Mauricio said: “The aim  of the promoters must be  working with young people, and  the Youth World Championship is one of the great examples of this.  Many fighters who`ve been world youth champions have progressed to become absolute world champions.

“The Youth Committee of the World Boxing Council is brilliantly directed by Rex Walker, and has had great champions including Danny Garcia, ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, Yesenia Gomez, Ibeth Zamora and many others who have made history as youth and then  absolute world champions.”

“A lot of champions have won and have reached the ultimate dream of winning the green and gold title. We know that ‘Rocky’, ‘Pivi’ and some other prospects of  Promociones del Pueblo will become world champions, like Rey Vargas,” said Lozada.

In the same Martes a Café meeting Eduardo ‘Rocky’ Hernández was awarded  ‘Fighter of the Year’ by the Youth Committee of the World Boxing Council.
