.@anthonyfjoshua always teaching a lesson in every fight. In defeat you mastered being humble and accepting what happens. And yet to come you will show how to rise. Proud of you champ.

- I have called for a WBA Directorate meeting next Monday. The main object is to discuss the actions to be taken, which may include the suspension of world, international or regional championship fights in Russia. We urge the parties to reach a peace agreement.
- Let me repeat: I standby what expressed last Sunday in @ringmagazine based on my 30 years plus experience. Taking a knee without a punch shall be rule a knockdown. It affected the result of the fight.
00:00- #Boxing #MurataNDam First of all let me apologize to Ryota Murata, Teiken Promotions and ALL Japanese boxing fans 3/5
- Chocolatito and Estrada will have a rematch, but the winner must fight Joshua Franco. At 108 and 105, there will be a tournament. At Heavyweight and Super Middleweight, we will soon make announcements. We are reviewing category by category.
- Today we named @MannyPacquiao the @wbaboxing Centennial Champion. It is a recognition that honors his career. For that reason, he will never lose it and will not defend it in a ring.
- Please stop misleading an opinion from a collaborator of @wbaboxing website. He doesn’t belong to any committee, has any influence, or opinion, in any matter of our Association.
- #gonzalezestrada2 Ratifico la suspensión temporal del oficial Carlos Sucre quien apunto 117-111 a favor de @GalloEstradaOfi . No le quito méritos a el campeon pero en peleas cerradas es intolerable una puntuación tan amplia. No lo califico de robo pero si desacertada.
- #Boxing #MurataNDam I feel angry and frustrating for not being able to serve the sport with the right decisions. 1/5
