This training was part of the homages paid to Alexis Arguello, three-time world champion, on occasion of the 8^th anniversary of his passing.

All aspects of the WBC Ring Officials guidelines were covered, paying special attention to the WBC code of ethics. There was a lot of interaction and participation by the attendees.

The WBC would like to express its deepest gratitude to the government of Nicaragua, Vice-President Rosario Murillo, Mayor Daysi Torres, Vice-Mayor Enrique Armas, General Juan Alberto Molinares (Chairman of the Nicaragua Professional Boxing Commission), WBC Representative Bismarck Morales, and Guillermo Arguello (Alexis´s bother and member of the local Commission) for their outstanding support and hospitality.

The seminar was a great success and the WBC keeps giving training to ring officials in different countries to the benefit of our sport.
