The protagonists were Marcelo Moreno Cruz and David Safe Climbingtwo men who, beyond the result of a fight that fell on David Escalada’s side, have already recorded their names in the history of national boxing.
Theirs was the leading role, although they were only the visible face of all the work that many people have done under the mantle of the Royal Spanish Boxing Federation to get two boxers in a chair into the Cartagena ring.

It is now our turn to continue promoting this discipline both in the clubs and in the training of technicians in this modality,” said Felipe Martínez, president of the RFEB.
