Fernando was a registered Boxing Canada coach. Fernando was originally from Mexico and boxing was certainly in his blood!! Prior to coming to Canada, he was a key member of The Arena Boxing Club in San Diego. He had coached both amateur and professional boxers. He brought a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to WCWW+. We are honoured to have had him pass along his knowledge. In honour of him, we have created the Fernando Rivas Memorial Award – an award that is given to the most sportsman international athlete.
