Additional information
Reason for taking up this sport
When he was a kid he practised handball, athletics and boxing. He felt he was better at boxing so he pursued that route, even when his father advised him not to. He said there was a lot of arguing about his choice at first but that once his father realized he was taking seriously he began to support him. (guerrillero.cu, 22 Dec 2011)

After becoming world champion in 2011, his father revealed he still has the mirror at home. (trabajadores.cu,25 Dec 2011)
