Camaguey, June 22 (JIT) - A tournament in Kazakhstan and three incursions in professional commitments will provide the competitive chapters to be covered by Cuban boxing after the Playa Giron national classic that continues here on Wednesday.
Eight men will travel to the capital of the Asian country, a power in that sport, headed by world king Yoenlis Feliciano (CMG-75 kg), who will have among his teammates the bronze medalist at that level Osvel Caballero (MAY-57 kg).
The other participants are rising stars: Alejandro Claro (SSP-51), Rogerlandy Delís (CAV-63.5 kg), Darián Favier Castro (HAB-67 kg), Brayan León (PRI-80 kg), Yeinier Areu (CMG-86 kg) and Carlos Castillo (HAB-+92 kg).
The competition will begin on the 29th, so the representatives of the island will travel shortly after the conclusion of their elite confrontation, as will also happen to the two-time Olympic champion Roniel Iglesias, called to overcome another challenge.
This will be part of a professional card scheduled for July 1 in the Mexican city of Monterrey. Contrary to what was previously reported, he will clash there at 154 pounds with local Agustin Lugo, protagonist of 11 wins, 14 setbacks and three draws.
The remaining eight-round fights will involve three-time world champion Lazaro Alvarez (July 20 in Santa Cruz, Bolivia) and Caballero (July 29 in Barranquilla, Colombia).
The former in the 130 lbs. division against Mexican Brayan Mercado (10-1-1) and the latter in the 126 lbs. division as opponent of Colombian Luis Diaz (23-10-1).
But before that there will be definitions in the domestic fight hosted by the Camagüey Sports Palace Rafael Fortún, where today, from 2:00 p. m., advances to the medal standings will be distributed in three categories.
