WBO president Francisco 'Paco' Valcarcel.
The World Boxing Organization (WBO), chaired by Francisco 'Paco' Valcárcel, Esq. suspended the 2020 edition of its annual convention due to the current pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus.
The annual convention was scheduled to be held next October in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The decision was made by the Executive Committee and 78 member countries of the organization. The vote was unanimous. Valcárcel, Esq. indicated that the elections for all the positions of the Executive Committee and of the regional organisms were postponed until the 2021 Convention.
For his part, WBO's legal adviser, Gustavo Olivieri, Esq. stressed that the organization's priority is the health of all its members and the general public.
“In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the WBO's greatest concern is the health and safety of our members, former and current champions, and the boxing community in general. Therefore, in consultation with our WBO Member Commissions around the world and the WBO Executive Committee, it was agreed that the best course of action was to postpone the annual convention for the following year (2021)”, said Olivieri.
“We hope to see and greet all of the WBO family in 2021.”
