The World Boxing Association (WBA) mourns the death of Alfonso Múnera Cabas this Wednesday, December 21 at the age of 96. The Colombian boxer and former president of Fecolbox died in Cartagena after dedicating a good part of his life to the sport.
He was part of Colombia’s first Olympic medals in Munich 1972 and many of those involved in Colombian boxing remember him as a great mentor and passionate about improving boxing and sports in general.
From the WBA we send condolences to his family and friends, as well as to Colombian boxing in general for the loss of such an important historical figure for the discipline.
