The world will never be the same
again, but can boxing?
As we prepare to move into the
month of May, the world economy
in tatters, most countries
around the world still in
lockdown, and still the
Coronavirus continues to play
havoc world wide.
We’ve heard so many conflicting
stories as to the beginning of
this virus. We’ve heard that it
originates from bat, dogs and
pigs from the open Chinese food
markets.
We’ve heard that the virus
emanated from the laboratories
in China, man made, and
deliberately circulated to win
World War III for China without
a weapon being fired.
We’ve heard that it is nature
simply repairing itself against
mankind for the negative
indifference man has taken
against Mother Earth and its
natural existence.
We’ve heard that it's the man
upstairs punishing man for
continuous negative behavior,
and we’ve heard that its simply
to vaccine every person on the
planet with a chip to ensure
full control of the world.
Perhaps all the above are
complete hogwash, but perhaps
not - you decide. But what is
for certain is that the world
has changed. We have to change
the way we work, the way we
think and the way we act.
Boxing will be back and it will
be back perhaps in a slight
different perceived way. What
that is we will have to wait and
see. But this is for certain -
back it will be. Resilience and
boxing are synonymous!
The World Boxing Federation will
continue to grow, continue to
stage quality fights and
continue to take care of, and
have consideration for all its
family members.
I have even in these difficult
times been in contact with
several promoters who anxiously
await the go ahead from their
respective countries (including
mine) to stage their shows.
France, Malta, Germany, South
Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe,
Philippines will be countries
where our first WBF fights post
lockdown will take place.
I hope everyone is safe, healthy
and well and doing the best they
can under our current
circumstances.
‘We
will overcome!”
Until next time,
keep punching.
Howard Goldberg
PRESIDENT: World Boxing
Federation
