In a moment full of nostalgia and anecdotes about boxing, cinema and the future of the USA, legendary actor Sylvester Stallone ("Rocky Balboa") and member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, presented the World Boxing Council world champion belt to the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, celebrating his great victory by knockout in the recent presidential election.
Stallone is the greatest ambassador of boxing and Donald Trump has been great for boxing and boxers since the 90s, being a friend of the lifetime president of the WBC, José Sulaimán.
"It is a special moment for boxing to present the green and gold belt that identifies him as the true champion of hope and confirms him as a friend of boxing, sport and the WBC," said Stallone.
