The irruption of Cuban amateur boxers in boxing for rent comes from the hand of the Mexican promotion company Golden Ring Promotions, with which recently signed a representation contract to venture into the different professional circuits.
Until then, boxers from the Island had to leave the country and cut their ties with the national federation to make a professional career, mainly in the United States.
