Sulaiman Applauds Chavez For Bringing in His Dad

By Miguel Rivera

WBC President Jose Sulaiman applauds the recent decision by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (46-1-1, 32KOs), who plans to use his father, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., as a cornerman for the upcoming fight with Brian Vera on September 7th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Last week Chavez said he was going prevent his father from attending his training camps, stating the two of them had tension during last year's camp for the fight with Sergio Martinez. It will be the first time that Chavez enters the ring since last September's defeat to Martinez on September 15th.

"It's a good decision because his father is his closest adviser. He cannot have a better adviser than his father," Sulaiman said.
