A significant physical activity event, the National Boxing Class in Sinaloa, brought together over 4,000 participants under the leadership of Olympic medalist Marco Alonso Verde Álvarez alongside prominent local officials. Organized by Mexico's government and the WBC as part of a nationwide fitness initiative, this gathering at the Aquatic Park proved highly successful, leaving organizers optimistic about its future recurrence.
The event featured not only Verde Álvarez but also other renowned boxing figures such as Omar Chávez, ex-world champion Pedro Guevara, and world-ranked Karen Rubio. The enthusiasm generated by the presence of these athletes resonated deeply with attendees, creating an atmosphere filled with excitement and camaraderie. As one of the key speakers, Governor Rubén Rocha Moya expressed his delight over the overwhelming turnout, emphasizing the importance of fostering community health through collective activities.
Verde Álvarez shared similar sentiments regarding the positive reception of the event. He noted how thrilled he was to engage with fellow citizens within his home state and looked forward to expanding participation next year. His upcoming professional debut scheduled for May in Saudi Arabia adds another layer of anticipation around his involvement in future editions of the class.
Beyond just numbers, what stood out most was the sense of unity cultivated among participants regardless of their backgrounds or skill levels. Everyone present seemed united by a common goal—promoting healthier lifestyles while celebrating athletic achievements on both national and international stages.
As the day drew to a close, there was unanimous agreement among organizers that efforts like these would continue moving forward. Their vision includes bringing even more athletes into future events so as to further inspire communities across Sinaloa toward greater physical well-being.
