The World Boxing Organization (WBO) again meant a guideline with its social commitment, gathering over a hundred professional and boxers fans in the seminar, which left their trail on Puerto Rico. According to the presidency of Puerto Rican Gustavo Olivieri, the agency presented the conversation entitled “From the ring to social networks”, which offered participants a recent and necessary vision of effective and legal management of digital platforms in the life of an athlete.

The day was part of the “WBO Give Back” program, which was of great importance for his effort to provide practical tools for fighters so that they could develop integral in both four -sided and society.

The initiative has been applauded by trainers, leaders and boxers who recognize that up-to-date times require preparation outside physical training and competition.

During the conversation, outstanding professionals, such as Frances Lee Reyes, María Rivera and Verónica Silva from Magnet Company, shared the concepts about the importance of the work of the athlete’s image in all their aspects. His exhibition emphasized the need to strengthen the personal brand as a bridge to maximize the possibilities of sponsorship, cooperation with companies and generating income. Similarly, the value of consistency between what boxer designs in the ring and what it sends on social networks has been emphasized, understood today as a global presentation.

For his part, the lawyer Ketzia Rosario Rodríguez from Alberto Rodríguez Law Offices turned to the legal aspects related to the protection of the image of athletes. He emphasized that every boxer must be aware of their rights and the legal scope of their publication, contracts and the exploit of content, because carelessness in this field can bring vital consequences in the career of every athlete.

The activity took place at the Muñíz Souffirt at the Ana G. Méndez University, Couey Emplace and distinguished by the vigorous participation of society. Participants of the boxers not only received academic orientation, but also could share their experiences and explain doubts with specialists. The atmosphere was described as motivating and enriching, in dynamics that mixed teaching with nearby interaction.

The seminar also served as a space for providing free training teams to participants, a gesture that was grateful for youthful boxers who often do not have high -quality resources. This detail strengthened the central message that the development of the athlete must be comprehensive, from technical preparation to personal and social strengthening.

It should be remembered that on June 28 WBO has already presented another educational conversation under the same program “WBO DA” entitled “How to protect your money outside the ring.” On this occasion, the speakers emphasized the importance of financial planning, budgeting and construction of a solid economic base, which allows athletes to prepare for the future. The continuity of these activities confirms that the agency is trying to go beyond the administration of the championships and belts.

OMB’s social effort is directed to a boxer, has complementary training that allows him to move in his life with greater preparation and awareness. At a time when exhibition in the media can define a career, the orientation received in “from the ring to social networks” draws enormous value for youthful people who dream of reaching the summit and for those professionals who are already traveling on a demanding path and a lasting public exhibition.

OMB still makes a difference in free educational programs that are looking for their athletes to grow as competitors and citizens. A positive response to the seminar confirms that the message was sturdy and vivid, generating additional motivation for projects that the agency will continue to promote for the benefit of the boxing community.

Oleksandr Usyk defended his world title in Riyad, defeating kickboxing icon Rico Verhoeven in the 11th round.

Verhoeven turned out to be a much tougher test for Usyk than many expected.

From the first bell, the Dutchman proved to be a problem, firing two tidy shots – one from above straight into the champion’s jaw, and the other a nasty shot to the body.

To the surprise of many, Verhoeven dominated most of the fight, with many viewers scoring just two or three rounds in favor of the Ukrainian.

Not only was Verhoeven in control, but he appeared to have hurt Usyk on numerous occasions, who looked nothing like the elusive champion we had become so accustomed to over the years.

Verhoeven went down in the 11th minute and went over the count before the referee led him to the corner to adjust his mouthpiece.

Ten seconds into the penultimate round, Usyk launched a brutal attack that injured Verhoeven, but he continued to fight. Nevertheless, the referee stepped in at 2:59 of the 11th round and called off the fight.

Many were outraged by the stoppage, with Derek Chisora ​​calling it a “assault” and Ryan Garcia believing the round was already over by the time the referee stepped in.

In an in-ring interview after his victory, Usyk admitted that his opponent was right.
