On Sunday, June 11th, Renzo Bagnariol, Vice President of the World Boxing Association, was exalted to the Nicaragua’s Sports Hall of Fame at the induction ceremony.

Bagnariol was exalted as a “Personality of the sport”, thanks to the work he has done for the development of boxing in Nicaragua and around the world. For this reason, the president of the WBA, Gilberto Jesús Mendoza, extended his congratulations to this great sports leader who is part of the family of the oldest boxing body.

“Entering the Hall of Fame is something too big, I never thought I would enter, there are so many people in the anonymity who do a lot for boxing, perhaps more than I, and who deserve this more than I do”, Bagnariol told the Nicaraguan press and so was reflected in the web portal Notifight.com.

Undoubtedly, for the World Boxing Association it is an honor to have leaders like Bagnariol.
