«There are going to be many great events for South Florida, the Muhammad Ali trophy is in mind to do fights here, as well as PBC wants to keep doing it, and also many young boxers of great talent and projection will come to fight here, Since most of them are latins, and Miami is the base of latins, so they will feel at home, as well as we plan to do many boxing events with local and Cuban boxers such as Livan Navarro, Eduardo Peréz and many more.
