CONSTERNATION IN THE WBC DUE TO THE PASSING AWAY OF EDWIN VALERO
PhilBoxing.com
Tue, 20 Apr 2010
Jose Sulaiman, World Boxing Council President, and all the members of the organization, are deeply saddened, moved and in sorrow due to the tragedy that took place in the family of the reigning of WBC Lightweight world champion, Edwin Valero, who committed suicide in his cell after having killed his wife.
Edwin Valero will remain in the 300 years of history of boxing as the only boxer who as a world champion had a professional career of 27 knockouts in 27 fights for a 100% record of KO?s.
Heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko is second to him, with a 97.1%.
Valero was very close to the World Boxing Council President and many of its members who witnessed the happy years of the fighter when he won his Lightweight world title on April 4th, 2009, and when he defended his title last February 6th, in Monterrey, where he was joined by his wife and two little children for two weeks, showing the kind of behavior and humanitarian sense that were very far from what happened.
The World Boxing Council declared April 19th, 2010, a day of world mourning. The WBC will also begin analyzing a plan to set up a fund for the education of his two little children, who were left alone in life after the passing of both of their parents.
