On behalf of the World Boxing Association (WBA) family, I want to wish you all a happy and prosperous year 2018.

Remember that each new year is an opportunity to do better, to give the world the best of us from our positions. Weather you are: a judge, a referee, a supervisor, a trainer, a boxer, it does not matter. We are all necessary and capable of generating a change, and fulfilling our roles well.

2018 is a year to get closer as a family, to hold hands and continue working for this wonderful sport and helping others. Boxing is a vehicle for social improvement and all of us who are part of the WBA are willing to continue pushing it forward.

Happy New Year!
