Henry Neumann To Announce New Commission Director

By Rey Colon

A new executive director for the Puerto Rico Boxing Commission, in place of Roberto González, will be announced in the coming days by the secretary of the Department of Recreation and Sports, Henry Neumann, as confirmed by the executive himself on radio program Sport Zone 940.

"The person I want to occupy that position, will be available and we will be making that change. We do not expect any controversy," he added. "I can not disclose the name yet until we make such an appointment but that's the person we want for that position."

He reiterated that Dommys L. Delgado Berty, Chairman of the Commission, and all of the commissioners (8), enjoy his full support on the ground throwing rumors circulated since last weekend that she was fired, including commissioner Jose "Toto" Peñagaricano and three additional commissioners.

"In all the interviews that have come out since last Saturday wherever I go or where I stand, I denied it. I always say that we have the best world boxing commission. When you talk to Lou Duva, Don King and Bob Arum - they unanimously speak very positive about our commission, "he said.
