New York, NY (July 1, 2015) ? WBC-USNBC junior middleweight champion Captain Boyd ?Rainmaker? Melson has been personally invited by WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman to their NABF convention this weekend in San Francisco, CA.
A close friend and supporter of the WBC Cares Program long before capturing their title with a win over Mike Ruiz in May, Melson?s garnered attention throughout the boxing world for donating 100% of his purses to Team Fight to Walk in support of America?s first clinical trial to cure Chronic Spinal Cord Injuries.
While in the Golden Gate City, Melson will spend time with Sulaiman to discuss becoming an ambassador for the WBC?s Youth Amateur Program. In his potential role as an ambassador, Melson?s focus would be on amateur boxing in the military. Prior to turning pro, the 2003 West Point graduate captured the World Military Championship and defeated many fighters that became top pros such as Keith Thurman, Charles Hatley and DeAndre Latimore.
Between his humanitarian efforts, success in the ring and educational background, Melson believes he can be of great assistance to the WBC?s initiative and is excited to learn more.
?It?s an honor that the WBC has personally invited me to their NABF Convention in San Francisco,? said Melson. ?All of the great fighters have honed the green belt and the fact that I am one of their titlists itself is a dream come true. I?d like to thank Jill Diamond for going above and beyond to help Team Fight to Walk. Mr. Sulaiman has a great heart and I know he really cares about our Veterans. I?m willing to do whatever it takes to help grow their emphasis on amateur boxing in the military.?
