Chiquita Boxing Charity Event To Bring

Boxing And Solidarity To Nezahualcóyotl!

(March 3rd) Chiquita Boxing will stage a charity event on Saturday, March 7, at the esplanade of the Municipal Palace in Nezahualcóyotl, combining high-level boxing with a clear social purpose: collecting new toys to be donated on Children’s Day.

Admission to the event will not require a monetary ticket. Instead, entry will be granted in exchange for a new toy, which will form part of the collection benefiting children in the community.

The card will be broadcast nationally on ESPN and Box Televisa, expanding both the reach of the event and its charitable message.

The main event will feature former world champion Mauricio “Bronco” Lara, who returns at a pivotal stage in his career. Lara expressed his motivation to fight again after three years of inactivity: “I want to give my people a victory after being inactive for three years. I’m very happy to fight with Chiquita Boxing.” The Mexico City native aims to deliver a convincing performance and reestablish himself on the national scene.

Hall of Fame former world champion Humberto “Chiquita” González, the driving force behind the project, emphasized the importance of the event: “It will be a great card. Don’t miss it. Bring your toy.” His message highlights the dual purpose of the night: sporting spectacle and social commitment.

Humberto González Jr. added that the event will meet high expectations: “We’re waiting for you. It will be a great show. There will be great talent. Bronco is in a great moment; it will be a top-level event.” The card will feature a mix of prospects and established fighters, reinforcing its competitive quality.

The combination of national television coverage, an emblematic venue in Nezahualcóyotl, and a concrete social cause positions this event as a meaningful platform for both boxing and the community. On March 7, the ring will be a stage not only for competition, but also for solidarity.

Magnesi Earns Victory In Tune-Up Bout

Ahead Of Title Opportunity!

(March 3rd) Michael Magnesi secured an important strategic victory, although the bout was not contested for a title.

The fight was designed as part of his preparation for an upcoming world championship opportunity, prioritizing rounds, competitive rhythm, and technical adjustments.

From the outset, his approach was methodical: distance control, consistent body work, and intelligent energy management. Rather than seeking a rushed finish, the objective was to solidify physical and tactical readiness ahead of the major challenge on the horizon.

The win allows him to remain active, maintain momentum, and continue refining key details within his roadmap toward a title shot. It was a functional, strategic performance aligned with a championship trajectory.

The WBC was established as an initiative of the then President of Mexico, Adolfo López Mateos, to create an organization that would unify all the commissions of the world and  develop the expansion of boxing.

This is how on February 14, 1963 the World Boxing Council was founded, initially created by 11 countries: the United States, Argentina, England, France, Mexico, the Philippines, Panama, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, and Brazil.

Its main founders were the Mexican Luis Spota and Professor Ramón G.

Velasquez, who were Presidents  of the World Boxing Council, as well as Onslow Fane, from England and Filipino Justiniano Montaño.

So far there have been six honorable men who have held the position of President of the World Boxing Council; However, Dr. José Sulaimán Chagnón, who became President on December 5, 1975 in the city of Tunisia and remained as Leader for more than 38 years, was the one who consolidated the organization as the most important at international and global level.

Thanks to  his unstinting efforts, innovation and guidelines, the WBC evolved, grew and transformed the way this noble sport is viewed. For the WBC the most important thing has always been to promote and safeguard, safety, health plus respect for the boxer, who gets into the ring with a hunger and thirst to win, and to entertain the fans, in spite of the risks.

The World Boxing Council is a non-profit organization that works motivated by the love for boxing with dedicated, loyal people who seek to safeguard the safety of boxers. Consisting of 168 countries with their respective confederations, its main function is to make boxing a fair and safe sport.

Today, with  the leadership of its President Mr. Mauricio Sulaiman, the WBC continues to work to enhance boxing, as well as to protect the health and well-being of all boxers, above any interest, always promoting our values: loyalty, justice, integrity and respecting the social commitment that supports our history.
