BOXING
CHAMPIONS

They are one of the most successful in the world – Cuba’s national boxing team. In early November the team put on a show during the AIBA Men’s World Championships in Serbia and confirmed its historical dominance in world boxing with three gold medals. With their performances, the PUMA sponsored Cuban team punched their way into the highest level of elite boxing. The Tokyo 2020 Olympic champions Andy Cruz (63.5 kg), Julio La Cruz (92 kg), and the rookie Yoenlis Hernández (75 kg) delivered world class performances while wearing PUMA shoes and apparel. Punch after punch they fought their way into the heart of every spectator.
