Without any doubt, Cuban boxing is internationally recognized, and this is due to the fact that it has 11 boxers who have won two or more Olympic titles. So in this case we are going to review the history of boxing in Cuba and the reason for its popularity.

The first thing we should know about boxing in Cuba is that it was introduced by the Chilean John Budinich, who came from the United States. In 1910 he founded and directed the first gymnasium for the teaching and practice of this sport in the territory currently occupied by the City of Havana.

However, it was not until 1921 that the Cuban Boxing Federation was founded, presided over by Colonel Rosendo Collazo. It was in 1939 when the first tournament in Cuba was held, which was called "Guantes de Oro" (Golden Gloves).

It should be noted that the Cuban pugilistic scene was dominated by professionalism from 1910 to 1962.

As for the spread of boxing throughout the rest of the island, it is something that occurs slowly in fact it was in 1919 when in Santiago de Cuba, located on the southern coast of the former Oriente province, when boxing was seen for the first time.

In all this lapse of time great figures emerged, but the most relevant was Eligio Sardiña Montalvo, who is mostly known all over the planet as Kid Chocolate. It should be mentioned that amateur boxing has also predominated.

Basically, boxing in Cuba is considered a sociocultural phenomenon, since it is one of the most popular sports. This is due to the results obtained in the international arena in Central American, Pan American, World Championships and Olympic Games.

All this has allowed it to earn the recognition of "Buque Insignia" (Flagship) of Cuban sport.

Something to highlight about the Cuban Boxing School is that they train Cubans on a daily basis from a very young age.

This is precisely one of the reasons why boxers from this Caribbean island stand out in boxing.

Here the Rafael Trejo boxing gym is the best known, being the oldest club in Cuba, located in Old Havana, Havana's Historic District. It is undoubtedly a club that tells a story, and the club atmosphere is defined by determination, hard work, perseverance and effort. Sparring and preparation sessions at Rafael Trejo take place throughout the day and finals are held at night under the spotlight of the ring.

The Rafael Trejo club is one of the few clubs that has experience in training foreign travelers. In addition, there will be regular classes at all times of the year, although you will not be able to train exclusively Cuban, but trainers can arrange sparring with Cuban fighters.

However, if you train with other foreign boxers of all levels from all over the world.

Some train here for the Olympic Games or other international competitions or bouts. But there are also those who are only interested in boxing as a recreational activity.

Boxing is an important part of Cuban culture, so many people watch and participate in sports for fun. In fact, a large number of young people participate in sports programs with the dream of one day becoming champions.

The search for candidates is done at an early age, which is one of the keys to the success of the Cuban boxing program.

Because of the latter, the minimum age to enroll in a sports school is 12 years old, but there are many children who start training much earlier in other sports in order to develop their physical abilities.

Among the most popular activities are martial arts, such as judo and karate. Team sports such as baseball, volleyball and basketball are also very popular.

The best in these sports have the possibility of enrolling in a sports school and receiving the appropriate training at the age of 12. This system has resulted in the creation of a large pool of wrestlers.
