Former heavy weight
boxing champion, Muhammad Ali will be named the ‘King of Boxing’ at the 50th
convention of the World Boxing Council (WBC)
The event will
begin Monday December 3-8 in Mexico’s Caribbean coastal resort of Cancun and
will have over 100 champs and ex-champs to attend the convention.
The “crowning” of
Ali will be one of the main events at the convention celebrating the 50th year
of the WBC, which is headed by Mexican Jose Sulaiman.
Mr. Sulaiman who
has been the WBC president since 1975 mentioned that “It will be recognition
for an entire life of greatness, there is nobody in the world who has done what
Ali has done.”
He added that Ali
deserved the honor “which he needs more” at this point in his life.
The former world
champion has suffered from Parkinson’s for years.
The WBC was
founded in 1963 by Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos.
