Emiliano Zapata Launches New Municipal Boxing Committee
Emiliano Zapata, Veracruz just landed a power punch for the future of local boxing. In a formal swearing-in ceremony, civic and athletic leaders introduced the brand-new Municipal Boxing Committee—a move designed to supercharge grassroots talent, raise training standards, and build stronger opportunities for young fighters across the region.
The event was led by Óscar Camacho Islas, president of the Veracruz State Boxing Association, who praised the unified efforts of municipal government, gym leaders, and community supporters. Special thanks were extended to Municipal President Erick Luis Hernández for championing youth development through sport.

The new committee reflects a diverse mix of experience and commitment to athlete development:
- President: Lic. Fernando Jesús Cabrera
- Vice President: Lic. Jessica Mendoza
- Secretary: Lic. Manuel Mora
- Treasurer: Ing. Eduardo Castillo
- Board Member: Fernando Martínez
Together, they’ll oversee regulations, host sanctioned events, and boost athlete support programs throughout Emiliano Zapata and beyond.
Building a Stronger Boxing Future
A stable local boxing organization ensures fair matchmaking, consistent medical oversight, and a defined structure for amateur and youth programs. That translates to safer gyms, more motivated athletes, and a direct pipeline to regional and national championships.
By organizing certified coaching clinics, local tournament calendars, and inter-municipal competitions, the new committee is expected to spark a new generation of boxers—especially from underrepresented communities.
What’s Next for Local Fighters
Expect action fast. In the coming months, the committee will launch club registrations, host coaching certifications, and develop outreach events aimed at discovering raw talent across neighborhoods. These initiatives will boost visibility for aspiring fighters and create a lasting foundation for boxing in Emiliano Zapata.
