The international amateur boxing tournament ‘Roberto Durán – El Legado’ is entering its final stages, featuring a high-profile matchup between the national teams of Panama and Mexico. The Mexican squad is being guided by boxing legends Juan Manuel and Rafael Márquez.

Supported by the World Boxing Council (WBC), the tournament aims to provide social and formative development for young athletes. Roberto Durán emphasized that the project seeks to encourage participants to pursue education alongside sports.

In related regional sports news, Panama has seen a significant increase in athletic success at the CODICADER 2026 games, rising from 32 medals in 2024 to 72 medals. Jaime Penedo, technical director of Deportes at Pandeportes, attributed this growth to a strategic shift toward early talent development and an expanded stimulus program that now supports 550 athletes.
