‘What is one million dollars compared to the love of eight million Cubans?’
JOHN WIGHT discusses Cuban boxer Teofilo Stevenson and his legacy which is ‘guaranteed to endure’
Teofilo Stevenson
Johnny Sexton appointed as an assistant coach
THESE were the words of the legendary Cuban amateur heavyweight, Teofilo Stevenson, in response to a lucrative multimillion dollar offer to turn pro and fight Muhammad Ali after the Montreal Olympics in 1976. They remain as powerful a testament to the nature and character of the Cuban Revolution today as they did when spoken over 40 years ago.
Stevenson dominated world amateur heavyweight boxing in a career that spanned 14 years and three Olympic Games. He returned to Cuba on each occasion with a gold medal to make him one of only three boxers to achieve this remarkable feat in the history of the Games, among them fellow Cuban Felix Savon.
To add to his haul of three Olympic golds, Stevenson also won three World Amateur Boxing Championship gold medals and a further two golds at the Pan American Games, before announcing his retirement in 1986 at 34.
