Within the promoter Zanfer there is great enthusiasm for the possibility of being able to do a plan of four boxing shows, one week from June 6, at the facilities that TV Azteca has in Ajusco.
Zanfer's presenter, Guillermo Brito, offered a virtual press conference, where he explained the way in which they plan to respect the WBC health protocol, which he considers viable at the moment, although he knows that it depends on the permissions of the authorities. sanitary of the City, the mayor's office, the Box Commission of the CDMX.
Brito announced the names of the fighters who have given their approval to participate in these functions such as Miguel Berchelt, Jackie Nava, Emmanuel Navarrete, Silvia Torres, David Rey Picasso, Sergio Chirino and Pollo Aguilar.lar.
Berchelt, Nava and Navarrete are sacrificing their salary, as they will fight ten rounds, with a salary lower than what they are used to, so that the fighters who are on the back earn normal pay and that is appreciated.”.
“The idea is to concentrate the fighters 15 days before the show at the National High Performance Center, located in the Sports City, for which they are already in talks with the director of the venue, Antonio García, to make a balance of costs and to know if the chefs will be on site or will bring the food to them commented Guillermo Brito..
He added that the desire of Fernando Beltrán, director and owner of Zanfer, is to achieve this four-show season, to show the world that Mexico is capable of organizing a three-show billboard, meeting the high demands of the WBC.
“It is planned to broadcast the functions to the whole world; in Mexico through TV Azteca and outside our country, through Top Rank, Brito said..
THE PLANS
The promoter's idea is to present three fights, start the live broadcast at 10:30 p.m. It is estimated that the event will last from an hour and a half to two hours.
Regarding the number of people who will be on the day of the show, around the ring that will be placed in the hall of the forums, where the big conferences are held, Guillermo Brito commented: There will be six fighters and only their manager will be there, without assistants; we will hire two trainers, one for each corner. The referee, announcer, timer, two members of the commission and the ring doctor; the judges will be in a studio; two cameramen and commentators eight meters away.”.
Now the hard part is looking for the rivals of the boxers from the Zanfer cast because we must look for boxers and managers who are willing to concentrate for two weeks, but we are going to achieve it and he stressed that they are not going to hire foreign boxers for these functions.s.
He recognized that Mexico City was chosen because it has the place for the show, where the fighters are concentrated and the support of the television station; although he admitted that the WBC protocol, although very good, is expensive, so it cannot be sustained for long.
