It is worth noting that the WBC Congress gathered in Kiev more than 600 participants from more than 164 countries of the world, which, according to the head of state, "is a confirmation of the fact that Ukraine is a big boxing country."
Poroshenko also thanked for the arrival in Ukraine the president of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Suleiman and other legendary boxers, multiple world champions Evander Holyfield, Julio Cesar Chavez, Marvin Hagler and others.
