The World Boxing Council donated today the amount of $10,000 (U.S.) to the family of the South Korean boxer Yosam Choi, who recently passed away.
The decision to make this donation originated with the fact that Yosam Choi was light flyweight world champion recognized by the WBC, and as a way to pay homage to his memory.
Choi passed away on January 2, 2008, after going into a coma after the fight in which he defeated Heri Amol by points; another organization´s regional title was on the line in the bout.
