WBC super featherweight champion Oscar Valdez was presented with “The Key” to the city of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, in recognition of his sporting career and for being an example for the children and youth of the border city.
The presentation was made by aptly named Mayor-elect Juan Gim Nogales, who received the champion in his office.
After the ceremony, Valdez along with municipal officials went to the boxing gym where Oscar trained as a child.
“Just like now these kids come to see me and get to know me, that’s how I was a few years ago. I remember Sugar Ray Leonard came here once, and I couldn’t believe it,” he commented.
More like cheater key ridiculous
Why are we drug testing if one can still be a champion and be honored? Nice job WBC Clean Boxing Program, you found a cheater and did nothing about it.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable knowing that I lost my last fight and they gave me the decision… you need to go get your head check out cause there’s no way you won your last Fight shame on you is Oscar be a man and accept your defeat
World Boxing Cartel looking out for their ‘folks’ not ALL fighters! Totally shameful! Bet if it were a black fighter it be a different response right?! Again, SHAMEFUL!! As a Latino man I’m disgusted by this BS!!
Who cares? Some impoverished bordertown honors a drug cheat. These are the same people who honor cartel members as well.
A fake Cheater nobody who looks like he has Down Syndrome…
These cartels folks are really lacking in moral. But it is time for the rest of the boxing world to take a stand against these corrupted Latin organizations (WBA and especially the WBC)
Honoring a cheater ? No more shame to cheat in Mexico..
