History of the Event

In the sport of amateur boxing, Cuba has established itself as a world power house. Despite only having a population roughly equal to that of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Cuba has won an unbelievable 67 Olympic medals in boxing, 34 of which are Gold. By all accounts, Cuba is a world leader in the sport.

In November of 2015, a diverse delegation of business and community leaders led by Congressman Mike Doyle, County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, and Councilwoman Natalia Rudiak traveled to Cuba to invite Cuba to take on Team Pittsburgh. I dag, Juli 30, 2016, right here in Pittsburgh, you are a witness to an unprecedented athletic exchange with Cuba. While Pittsburgh has had a long-standing relationship with the City of Matanzas, Cuba and has engaged in countless academic, cultural, and humanitarian exchanges with our friends in Cuba, this athletic exchange will be a first. Our belief is that if Pittsburgh wants to be the best in the world, we have to learn from the best in the world. Having the opportunity to compete against Cuba provides our athletes with a tremendous opportunity to challenge them to become better boxers while making friends and learning about a different culture

This competition will be unique in the fact that unlike the athletic exchanges of the past between USA and Cuba, this event will be afriendlyclub match. Each of the bouts athletes are evenly matched. The goal of the evening’s competition is to provide young boxers of all skill levels a chance to compete on the international level and ultimately grow as boxers and individuals. Because of the historic nature of this event, we endeavored to stage the boxing match in a manner that reflects its significance. Matanzas is Cuba’s City of Bridges, and Pittsburgh holds that designation in the U.S.A. Because of the need to create a symbolic bridge between the U.S. and Cuba to move past the Cold War Era, we have chosen to hold this match on the Roberto Clemente Bridge, honoring at the same time a man who gave his life building unity among nations.

History of Pittsburgh Matanzas
The Pittsburgh-Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership was founded to create an opportunity for our residents, public officials, and leaders of organizations to engage in mutually beneficial ‘people to peopleexchanges with the residents of Matanzas, Cuba. I februar 20, 1998 a signing agreement took place in Matanzas officially designating our sister city relationship.

The Mission of the Pittsburgh-Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership is to expand our sister city relationship between the City of Pittsburgh and the City of Matanzas, Cuba, to foster understanding and bilateral cooperation through mutually beneficial exchanges between individuals, government officials, community groups, organizations, educational, environmental, cultural, sports, business, and other institutions. It is important that ordinary people be able to experience Cuba for themselves and form their own opinions. I årenes løb, our work has expanded to encompass bilateral relationships within the entire nation of Cuba.
Our work focuses on these 4 objectives:
1. Lift the illegal and immoral blockade (Extra-territorial economic and trade sanctions that impact world trade)
2. Lift the Travel Ban (Allow Americans the same freedom of travel enjoyed by every other democratic nation.)
3. Building International Relations that respect the independence and Sovereignty of Cuba
4. Ending the illegal and immoral occupation of Guantanamo Bay (US is in outright violation of Treaty)

Despite decades of travel restrictions placed on U.S. residents by our own government that remain in place even to this day, as do crippling economic sanctions against Cuba, which have been condemned worldwide as immoral and illegal under international law, we have continued our work to engage in peaceful and constructive activities with the people and institutions of Cuba.

History of Hibernian Celtic Athletic Fund

The Celtic Athletic Fund was created by members of Ancient Order of Hibernians to help make sports accessible for low-income Pittsburgh youth of all nationalities throughFriendship, Unity, and Christian Charity”.
Boxing on the Bridge is the brainchild of the organization.

Michael Diven, a former Pittsburgh councilman and former state representative, is a member of the Hibernian Celtic Athletic Fund and the Pittsburgh Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership. For the past three years on St. Patricks Day, the fund has sponsored an exchange with Irish boxers called the Donnybrook organized by Mr. Diven.

The Cuban Constitution guaranteesaccess to study, culture and sports.But in the U.S., youth sports, as well as art and music, are among the first to be cut when school district funding shrinks. “Boxing on the Bridgecontinues the work of the fund to support sports initiatives for Pittsburgh’s youth and builds on decades of work by the Pittsburgh-Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership

For Pittsburgh, it will be a unique opportunity for our amateur youth boxers to learn from the best boxers in the world. And for our nation, it will help build bridges with Cuba and public support for congressional action to finally end the U.S. economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba, which continues, despite President Obama’s March visit to the island.

Kevin Dever Sports Management underskriver Undefeated cubanske lys sværvægter Luis Garcia

(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia og Patrick Brown)
Peekskill, N.Y.. (December 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sports Management har annonceret underskrivelsen af ​​ubesejrede cubanske lys sværvægter udsigten Luis “The Lion” Garcia til en eksklusiv ledelsesmæssig kontrakt.
Næsten otte år siden,Garcia (12-0, 9 KOS) hoppede fra Cuba til Mexico med kolleger bokser Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 KOS), der bosatte sig i Cork, Irland, fik sin professionelle debut i 2008. Han bor nu i Peekskill, New York.
“Det var en større ændring, når jeg flyttede til Irland, end det var for seks uger siden, da jeg flyttede her,” forklarede den 28-årige Garcia. “Det var meget sværere i Irland, fordi jeg ikke talte et ord engelsk. Jeg lærte engelsk fra gaden, ser tv og læser. Det er ikke en stor ændring for mig at flytte rundt, fordi jeg rejste over hele verden, da jeg var medlem af det cubanske landshold.”
Garcia har ikke kæmpet i næsten fire år på grund af tidligere ledelsesmæssige spørgsmål, men hans planlagte tilbagevenden er denne lørdag nat, December 5, mod en modstander, der skal afgøres i en seks-runders kamp i Barclays Center i Brooklyn. Hans sidste kamp var en sejr med otte runders enstemmig afgørelse over tidligere ubesejrede (12-0) Alexander Johnson på December 30, 2011 i Cabazon, California.
“Det var ikke min beslutning om ikke at bekæmpe de sidste fire år,” tilføjede Garcia. “Der skete noget med min nu tidligere manager og promotor. Jeg trænede hele tiden, sparred en masse, og lavede så meget jeg kunne i træningscenteret. Jeg havde stadig en kontrakt, indtil den udløb. Jeg har kendt Kevin for 2-3 år. Han spurgte mig, hvorfor jeg ikke kæmpede, og jeg fortalte ham alt. Han sagde, at han skulle ringe til ham, når min kontrakt udløb, fordi han ville styre mig, og det var det, jeg gjorde.
“America tilbyder mig en god mulighed, bedre end England eller Irland, og jeg vil afslutte min boksekarriere her. Jeg kæmper mod december 5th og tage tingene skridt for skridt. Jeg vil ikke skynde mig. Der er mange gode kæmpere i letsværvægtsdivisionen, og jeg håber at være med i blandingen næste år.”
Garcia to kampe før hans sidste mod Johnson var imponerende 2010 tekniske knockouts af tidligere verdensmester Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) og Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), henholdsvis, i andet og sjette runde.
“Jeg forlod boksning med en dårlig smag i munden, men jeg søgte at komme tilbage til boksning,” sagde Kevin Duty, der co-styrer Garcia med Patrick Brown. “Jeg kendte ham fra Irland, og jeg har altid ønsket at styre dette barn. Han ringede for at fortælle mig, at hans kontrakt var udløbet, og vi lavede en aftale, der bragte ham hertil for at bo i New York.
“Jeg kan ærligt talt ikke se noget rust, når han ser ham sparre. Jeg ved, at sparring ikke kæmper, men alle i fitnesscentret stopper for at se ham træne. Jeg tror helt ærligt, at, når han har nogle gode kampe under hans bælte, han vil være en top contender i lyset sværvægter division. Luis Garcia er den bedste fighter, jeg nogensinde har arbejdet med.”
Garcia, en World Junior Championship-guldvinder, hoppede fordi han blev desillusioneret efter at være blevet nægtet en plet på 2008 Cubansk olympiske Team, trods ham besejre eventuel olympisk sølv medaljevinder Emelio Correa, Jr. i den cubanske olympiske kvalifikation. Correa er søn af 1972 Olympiske mester Emelio Correa, Sr., som stadig var involveret i cubanske amatør boksning, da hans søn blev valgt i løbet af Garcia til at repræsentere Cuba i 2008 OL. Correa tabte i mesterskabsfinalen til James Degale, Brit, der i øjeblikket er den internationale Boxing Federation (IBF) super mellemvægt titlist.
Ikke en typisk defensivt første cubanske bokser, Garcia er kendt som en sprød puncher, at mange insidere mente havde mere upside end nogen cubanske boksere, der har hoppede, udenfor Guillermo Rigondeaux og Yuriorkis Gamboen, der begge er blevet flere tid verdensmestre som professionelle.
Garcia arbejder ud af Be First Boxing i Peekskill og Westchester Boxing Club i White Plains (NY), hvor han er uddannet ved Nick “Knuckles” Delury og hans assistent, tidligere verden titel udfordrer Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 KOS). Et tidligere nr. 1 rangeret weltervægt udfordrer i verden, Barnes’ kun tre tab som en pro skulle verdensmestre Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul mamby og Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Campus.
“Han er en stor dreng, meget smart og respektfuld,” Delury kommenterede. “Der er nogle rust fra at være slukket fire år, men Luis lever et godt, sund livsstil, og han har ikke lidt skade i ringen. Han er 28, uddannede, og en ægte gentleman. Det har været en fornøjelse at arbejde sammen med ham. Luis er en begavet bokser. Han er ekstremt spændende at se og har en perfekt blanding af offensiv og forsvar.”
