Humberto "Chiquita" González was very successful in his boxing career. Now he plans to replicate that success in his new venture as a promoter.
The first event he will organize will be in Neza city, where he plans to reactivate boxing in the area, return once a month and also bring back the old glories of the world championships.
"I am happy to promote boxing, it is a national championship fight that is valid; being champion of the republic is not easy, you have to promote, support, there are many young people in Neza, people will come. It is a good function, there will be a good attendance (...) Now they do not pay much attention to the nationals, in my times being national champion was a stepping stone to the world title, you were already qualified; I know that now they do not pay much attention to them, but they have a lot of validity because I went through that," he recalled.
