A month ago, the entire world was moved and shocked by the heroic act of a six-year-old boy, Bridger Walker, who, at the cost of his life, saved his little girl from a deadly attack by a pitbull dog.

Such an action cost him severe injuries to his face, due to dog bites. The story was shared by her aunt Nicole. The event occurred on July 9 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States of America.

But without a doubt the most shocking thing was his statement, very mature for a boy his age: If someone had to die that day it was me.”.

Upon learning of such a brave action, the World Boxing Council sent him an emblematic belt and named him world champion.

But this Saturday, August 15, 2020, during the closing of the 58th virtual WBC Annual Convention, Mauricio Sulaimán, president of the organization, had a link with Bridger Walker, along with José Carlos Ramírez, Marvin Hagler and Mike Tyson.

Mauricio told him: Bridger, I'm excited about this, it's been a sensational moment, you're a very shy world champion. Look what I have for you, some gloves in your size, so that together with your father you can start training. For your little sister I have this WBC medal with a pink ribbon. I will never forget this moment.r.

Extremely excited. José Carlos Ramírez, super lightweight champion of the WBC and WBO, told him: Your story is a wonderful body, one of the best I have read this year and it has motivated many of us. It shows us that there are still wonderful people doing the right thing.”.

“I am a father and your behavior motivates me to keep going, because you have shown us what true love is, that it comes from the will and not from emotions, because you decided to defend your sister from the dog attack. I congratulate you and may God bless you, friend..

Marvin Hagler, from Italy, recognized Bridger's act, noting that what he did was something sensational, the instinct he had, he helped his sister and that's what this is about, being a great champion in life.”.

“I saw the natural instinct to protect her sister. The dog was very angry and Bridger, we know it takes time to feel good, but don't be discouraged by the scars, they are the scars of a warrior and I have mine too.”.

In turn, Mike Tyson said he admired this warrior child: Spiritual fighters are enormous. The way he sacrificed himself to save his sister is incredible. It is difficult to control fear, maybe I had no idea what fear is, but in this world there are people who are wrapped in fear, who controls them, but you defended your sister by controlling fear. You faced something very ugly, but that value you showed will always come out.”.

In this way, the world champions and the World Boxing Council recognized the story of a warrior, the story of Bridger Walker.
