The topic of boxing in Spain has always been a controversial one; for a country blessed with athletes that always seem to excel phenomenally in sports.
The fact that she has had only 11 world boxing champions says something about a perceived lack of interest, especially in times past.
But recently, there has been a kind of resurgence in boxing, due to a lot of promotions coming up.
This is why we’re going to be looking at some of the biggest boxing promotions in Spain.
1. Gallego Prada Promociones
