WORLD BOXING COUNCIL NEWS

September 5, 2011 – Mexico City.

From the office of WBC President Dr. José Sulaimán:

The Countdown to the Future!

The WBC has partnered with iChannel to provide content from some of our top athletes to mobile devices: instructional clinics from some of the top boxers and coaches in the world. No one in boxing has, or will, duplicate this. We have forged relationships with Apple, Sony, Amazon and iTunes to create our own WBC Academy APP; Boxing Clinics that will be a part of an even larger presentation of other Sports Apps and Celebrity Athletes (Football, Basketball, Golf…). It will be available on all smart phones, iTunes, Netflix, Amazon, etc … and there will be no viable competition.

To give you an idea of the caliber of talent involved, they have chosen Kevin Durant and ­­ Chris Paul for basketball, Phil Mickelson and Cristie Kerr for golf, and the stable of World Boxing Council talent for boxing. It will also feature musical stars, clinics, quizzes and news. This App will contain a viable social element – it will allow fans to interact with the athletes and provide those athletes with a way to popularize and get PR for their charity of choice.

This exciting project will be a social network combined with sports clinics, quizzes, bios, stats and a very important philanthropic element, as well. We will launch it at the convention in December. Here’s to the possibilities!
