The best Cuban boxers will compete in the event, which will allow coaches and trainers to assess the development of both young and experienced athletes.

On this occasion, the novelty is that four members of the Cuban team that competed in the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, in 2004, will compete in higher divisions.

Odlanier Solís, Olympic champion in the 91-kg division in Athens, will compete in the +91-kg category, a strategy that might fill the gap in the super heavyweight division.

Olympic silver medallist Yudel Johnson will move up from the 64-kg to the 69-kg division, while Yordanis Despaigne will go up from 75 to 81 kilograms.

Moreover, Yoan Pablo Hernández will compete in the 91-kg division, leaving behind the great efforts he had to make to remain in the 81-kg category.
