Arlen Lopez Cardona punched hard at both hands during the month of October, the young man of only 22 years old who is native of the Sur neighborhood of the city of Guantanamo, has just been selected as the best athlete of the territory in October.
The boxer, of the 75 kg, won the World Boxing Series in Venezuela and the World Championship in Doha, Qatar, where he was not among the favorites for the gold medal and went ahead.
Today he has booked his ticket for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro 2016, in Brazil.
Lopez played a key role this year on the results of the Cuba’s Wranglers at the World Series of Boxing to rank second in such a demanding competition in which the best fighters take part.
He’s is now on vacation in his native Guantanamo, anyway he continues attending the Provincial Boxing Academy, where he’s training to participate at the National Tournament Playa Girón next December.
