·Nov 11, 2024

MICHAEL WARE (VOICEOVER): In Olympic boxing, Cuba is a heavyweight. The nation's pride often rests upon success in the ring. Oh, my god.

MICHAEL WARE (VOICEOVER): And few have known as much success as the man who has just walked in. What an honor to meet me. Ah. [laughs]

MICHAEL WARE (VOICEOVER): Felix Savon is a living legend, one of the world's greatest amateur boxers, three-time Olympic gold medalist, six-time world champion. But Savon has been more than just a champion in the ring. He has been the face of Fidel Castro's revolution. Time and time again, he rejected multimillion dollar offers to turn professional. It said he'd turned down $25 million to fight Mike Tyson. And he did it, he says, because he believes that much in the revolution.

I know I'm supposed to be a journalist here and objective, but I'm such a fan. Yes, I was there. It was a great victory. Tell the champ I don't know if he drinks or not, but I'd like to have a little drink with him. [speaking spanish] Si. All right, let's go. [speaking spanish]

MICHAEL WARE: Please, Champ. Salud. Ah, y victoria. And victory. To victory. Why didn't you take the money and go professional? [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] Really? [speaking spanish] Ah, si. Really? [speaking spanish] A hut. A hut. A hut is better. Uh-huh. What?

-Yeah. -No. That's what he said. Yeah. He went from a hut with a candle to being the face of his nation and the face of a revolution.

INTERPRETER: Yes, sir. Did that help shape his view of the revolution? [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] Ta. Yeah? Wow. [speaking spanish] So he was the front line of the revolution with his fists. [speaking spanish] Yeah? [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] Yeah. [speaking spanish] Right. So there'll be an evolution.

MICHAEL WARE (VOICEOVER): Felix Savon is a face of the revolution, a nationalist, and a loyalist.
