In view that Wayne McCullough has been not only one of the most courageous fighters –honoring his Irish blood– but also an extraordinary example in his private life, the World Boxing Council has decided to appoint him World Ambassador for Peace and Good will in Sports, at the WBC’s upcoming world annual convention to be held in Gibraltar, Spain, from October 2 through October 8, 2005, where the organization will discuss a program of exemplary conduct within boxing and international sports.
In response to the press release sent out by the WBC Wayne McCullough said:
“For the first time in my life, I was knocked off my feet when I received the news from the WBC. I always wanted to be remembered not only for my boxing ability but also for my clean living, honesty, integrity and dedication to the sport.
It is a privilege and an honour to be recognized by the WBC as the World Ambassador for Peace and Good Will in Sports.
This was totally unexpected and I have expressed my thanks to Jose Sulaiman, WBC President, for even thinking of me.”
