“Roy” Herrera So Proud of the Ring Telmex Telcel Fighters

The captain of the “Ring Telmex-Telcel” team, Rogelio Herrera, linked up with the specialized press on the traditional WBC´s weekly press conference, to talk about the fruits of this initiative.

It was established 13 years ago, as an economic support program for 24 boxers,  among amateurs and professionals, whose objective is for young people to concentrate on their sporting activity, but at the same time continue with their studies, In addition, to retirement fund. 

Roy is so proud to see the growth of each of his “Godchildren” -as he calls them-, as many of them have progressed to become WBC world champions.  Saúl Álvarez became an example to follow, plus former champion Miguel Berchelt, Ibeth Zamora, Mariana Juárez and now the new WBC champion, Oscar Valdez.

Roy congratulated new champion Oscar in a very special way, because last Saturday he conquered the dream that he had as a child, to be a WBC world champion. Oscar, who he described as a young dream fulfiller, yet disciplined, cheerful, dedicated and passionate about boxing, who makes him proud in his fight against another great fellow Miguel Berchelt. 

Roy was very excited about Oscar’s triumph, but it simultaneously pained him to see Miguel hurt. Accordingly, he stressed that today more than ever the “Ring Telmex-Telcel” team must shelter and provide all the support for Miguel, who he assured will return to the path of triumph. 

WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán, praised  “Ring Telmex-Telcel” as a unique example worldwide, since there has not been any other such a benevolent organization for our sport.

Mauricio also lauded the tireless work of Mr. Carlos Slim, Arturo Elías Ayub, José Aboumrad and Rogelio Herrera, who have helped so much and supported many young people who dream of glory and also for those who once reached the peak of success.
