Intimidad olímpica de un campeón de Cuba en Tokio
Por Jhonah Díaz González, enviado especial
Tokio, 19 jul (Prensa Latina) El boxeador cubano Julio César la Cruz conoce algunos de los rostros más íntimos del olimpismo: dolor, decepción y felicidad, sentimientos que confluyen hoy nítidos entre sus memorias cuando afina su debut en Tokio 2020.
Antes de completar un giro de 180 grados en su trama individual bajo la bandera de los cinco aros, La Sombra , uno de sus epítetos en el arte de Fistiana, fracasó en el intento de clasificar a la cita de Beijing 2008, pese a la confianza depositada en su figura en dos torneos eliminatorios.
Demetrius Andrade vs Liam Williams: Mission Possible
Matt Christie outlines why Liam Williams has every chance of upsetting Demetrius Andrade in Hollywood
THE already impressive reinvention of Liam Williams will become a thing of Welsh legend if he defeats WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade on Saturday night (April 17). While the might of Andrade is substantial, it’s not insurmountable, and victory for the ferocious challenger will not only see Williams score one of the most impressive wins in his country’s fighting history, it could also set up a monster all-British clash with a boxer Williams has wanted to face for a long time.

Liam Williams (23-2-1, KO18) has long been courting a showdown with Demetrius Andrade (29-0, KO18), and the Welshman finally gets his wish this Saturday night with Andrade’s WBO middleweight title the prize on offer.
Clydach Vale’s Willliams has come on in leaps and bounds since a move to middleweight, after a pair of spirited losses to Liam Smith in 2017 at super welterweight, a weight where he reigned as British and Commonwealth champion.
Since those defeats to the Liverpudlian, ‘The Machine’ has had seven wins on the spin, and has paired winning and defending the British title, with ranking building wins with the governing bodies against decent opposition.
