Round 12: 2026 Kicks Off With Major Battles

By Mauricio Sulaimán / WBC President / Son of José Sulaimán

What a way to start the year, with tremendous world championship fights.

Three electrifying and dramatic duels, all ending by knockout. While the world celebrated Christmas and New Year, these boxers were far from their families in training camps, preparing for their bouts.

Sometimes the sacrifice behind each story is overlooked, but for them, the only thing that matters is seeking victory—for their pride, their family, and a future in this grueling sport.
