(SEPT 9) With championship belts on the line in just a few days, Mexican boxing heroes Erik Morales and Edgar Sosa joined a contingent of fighters including “Mexican Fiesta” boxers Ana Maria Torres, her opponent Alesia Graf, Daniel Estrada and Reyes Sanchez to take a day out of the gym and show kids the importance of physical activities.

The boxers put their gloves down and pedaled around the Pasa Reforma in Mexico City, one of 122 cities in Mexico celebrating International Bicycle Day. They were joined by Secretary of Tourism of the Federal District Alejandro Rojas Diaz Duran, city attorney Miguel Mancera, the principals of the Bicentennial Gala and Federal staff members Bernardo de la Garza, head of Conade; and from SEP (Salud Entre Todos- Health Among All of Us) Alonso Lujambio and Jose Angel Cordova.

A throng of fans surrounded Morales and Sosa as they rode through the city, showing the home country fighters an outpouring of support before their respective championship bouts this Saturday, Sept. 11.
Morales takes on Scotsman Willie “Hands of Steel” Limond for the WBC Intercontinental Championship; in the co-feature bout, Sosa goes for the WBC International Flyweight title against current title holder, Filipino fighter Ryan Bito.
