The WBC takes the historic step of supporting Adaptive Boxing

World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman is praising the new Adaptive Boxing program, which will start in the United Kingdom as the first step towards globalization.

“It’s a great moment for me, because I feel that this is the beginning of something that will be remembered for many years,” the WBC President told to SecondsOut.

“Each boxer has a great history and adaptive boxing has great potential. It makes all participants feel happy about who they are.”

Mauricio declared that boxing is a fundamental part of the lives of those involved in this program commenting: “I talked to some of the participants about their life, medical condition, and boxing is a reason to smile for them. It’s a reason to live and we will support it!”

Reaffirming that support, he  wrote on his Twitter account:

The WBC takes historic step towards supporting Adaptive Boxing. The program will be developed with ABO in the  UK to go international soon.
