We received fantastic news today, no other than Sugar Ray Leonard accepted our invitation to attend our 49th Convention which will be held from December 11th to 17th in Las Vegas, Nevada, the boxing capital of the world. As it is known, Leonard is an immortal of boxing, one of the best fighters there have ever been, and his attending in our meeting, will enhance our Convention without a doubt, and will be of course an extra attraction for the attendees as well as for the fans that always gather around these events.

Ray Charles Leonard “Sugar” is an idol of huge dimensions in the U.S.A and also in the rest of the world; he shaped a record of 36 wins, 25 of them by knockout, one draw and three losses.

Ray Leonard reigned in five different divisions and he tremendously shone in all of them. He was a great world champion in the Welter, Superwelter, Middle, Supermiddle and Lightheavyweight divisions; and before becoming a professional he won the gold medal in the Olympic Games of Montreal.

Leonard will be one of the at least sixty great figures of our sport that will join us in Las Vegas.
