BOXER DREAMING

On the beach of Cienfuegos (Cuba), José Alamo, the old glory of Cuban boxing, trains the children of the primary school without having a gym. a sidewalk and a piece of beach cleaned by the trash are enough for him. Love and passion above all.

Together with the sun, the sea, the sand and the rubbish heaps of an old landfill site, Malecón de Cienfuegos (Cuba) is home to a project. This project is carried out by José Alamo Utria, an old Cuban boxing legend who trains and raises young and willing Cubans of all ages with passion, discipline and method every day, allowing them to mature with the knowledge that they can become champions.

Fidel's post-revolution policy guarantees Cubans a social state that allows them to have education, health and sports activities completely free, but there is no infrastructure for practicing sports.

However, this limitation can be overcome by passion and constancy. All it takes is a pavement you can warm up on, a bag attached to a tree you can punch and a rope that can form a ring on the sand, so you can train in order to grow.

Perhaps, one day, one of these young people who are hungry for victory will turn out to be a champion.
