“You will bring international boxers and celebrate them but you will not take people that have been celebrating boxing to come there. At least, to carry the campaign. You take them to government officials that do not support boxing; those that do not support our sports in our country. Those that have killed our sports generally. No be mumu una be? You are stupid people.”
