Boxing legend tapped as presidential envoy to Panama
This photo, taken in March 2024, features South Korea's legendary boxer Hong Soo-hwan, whom President Yoon Suk Yeol designated as a presidential envoy to Panama on June 28, to attend the inauguration of the Central American nation's new President, Jose Raul Mulino. Hong, a two-time WBA champion, secured the super-bantamweight title with a 3rd-round knockout of Panama's Hector Carrasquilla in 1977. Despite being knocked down four times in the 2nd round, he made a remarkable comeback in the following round to claim victory. (Yonhap)
