Under the slogan “Say No to Drugs,” amateur boxing became a powerful tool for inclusion and prevention in the capital of Misiones Province.
On April 12, Club Huracán in Posadas hosted the event “Say No to Drugs,” a boxing night organized under the WBC Amateur framework, bringing together national and international athletes with a clear objective: to use sport as a driver for social change.
With a strong turnout, the event stood out both for the technical level of the bouts and the powerful message of awareness. Boxers from various Argentine provinces and from Paraguay participated, giving the evening a regional character.
The main events featured Guillermo “La Joya” Andino, a native of Posadas, who faced Maximiliano “El Indomable” Corzo from La Plata, as well as the clash between Leandro Da Rosa and Nicolás Morzán — both fights igniting the crowd.
The event also included a series of amateur bouts sanctioned by WBC Amateur. The results were as follows:
Ariel Cañete defeated Hernán Paniagua (Oberá) by decision.
Santino Enriquez won by decision over Braian Martínez (Puerto Iguazú).
Ramón Vallejo (Paraguay) defeated Pedro Lezcano (El Dorado) by decision.
Alejandro Cáceres (El Dorado) won by decision against Agustín Duré (Posadas).
Diego Sosa (Paraguay) beat Rodrigo Bianchi (Oberá) by decision.
Guillermo Andino, one of the main fighters and organizers of the event, emphasized the social value of sport: “We’re happy. More than anything, sports and boxing help get many kids off the streets and away from drugs,” he said.
The night was another strong display of WBC Amateur’s commitment — alongside local boxing figures — to training young athletes and promoting values through the sport. In Posadas, the ring was much more than a place of competition: it was a message of hope.
