Boxing development initiatives in Mexico and Colombia

Overview

The Mexican government, under President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, has implemented a national boxing initiative titled ‘Puños de Transformación’ (Fists of Transformation). Coordinated through CONADE and the World Boxing Council (WBC), the program utilizes professional and amateur boxers to provide free training in various locations, including Ecatepec, Tijuana, and Yucatán, to promote discipline and social cohesion.

As of August 2026, the initiative has expanded to more than 275 locations and 500 points across all 32 Mexican states. The program, driven by President Sheinbaum and CONADE Director Rommel Pacheco, has registered over 28,000 participants. Participating cities include Puebla, Nuevo Laredo, Morelos, Tijuana, Mérida, Mazatlán, León, and Campeche, with sessions drawing diverse demographics from children to seniors. In Puebla, the program is linked to charitable efforts, including a scheduled match between Julio César Chávez Jr. and Jeison Troncoso to fund an addiction rehabilitation center.

Parallel developments in Colombia include a government investment of over 1.3 billion pesos in the Nariño region between 2024 and 2026 to enhance athlete training and coaching through programs such as ‘Vamos por las de Oro’.
