Julio César Chávez World Boxing Council Convention Acapulco 2026, Digi Mart USA News (Acapulco, Mexico): Mexican boxing champion Julio César Chávez is the guest of honor at the Annual Convention of the World Boxing Council, held in the port city of Acapulco for its 2026 edition.
Speaking on a range of topics, the boxing great addressed the current moment in Mexican boxing and how world champions have evolved over time. Chávez said Mexico will always remain present in the sport, explaining that when one champion departs, another arrives to take his place.
“Mexico will always be present. In Mexico, one champion leaves and another comes and fills the gap, as I used to say when I was active.
Who is going to replace Julio? Then came Barrera, then Morales, then Márquez, and ‘Canelo’ will eventually step away, and he is currently the great figure of Mexican boxing, and others will come, and Mexico will always be present,” Chávez explained.
Chávez is scheduled to take part in the opening of the convention, set for 1:00 p.m. on Monday.
Other prominent figures in national boxing are also expected to attend, including Erick “Terrible” Morales, Christian “Diamante” Mijares, José Luis Castillo, Daniel Zaragoza, Humberto “Chiquita” González, Jackie Nava and current boxer Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, among others.
