CUBA.- Cuban boxer, Olympic champion in Tokyo 2020, receives a fish, two large sodas, a bottle of rum and two pieces of handicrafts as a prize for obtaining the gold medal in the sport’s greatest fair.
This is Julio César La Cruz, who shouted “Homeland or Death” during his reception in Cuba, was awarded with these elements when he visited a fishing company.
The Cuban boxer beat the Russian Muslim Gadzhimagomedov to win the golden metal and on his way he also defeated his compatriot Emanuel Reyes Pla, nicknamed “The Prophet, in the quarterfinals” Patria y Vida no, Patria o Muerte, Venceremos “, as response to statements made before the fight by his former teammate against the repression in Cuba.
Although a video on Tik Tok recently went viral in which it is said that the “Cuban regime” was the one who gave the fish and sodas to La Cruz, this was a gift from a fishing company that he visited in his native Camaguey. In addition, this award was compared to the $ 750,000 that the Indonesian winners received in Badminton.
