A children?s choir on stage doing a heartfelt rendition of ?We Are the World? was the backdrop of the World Boxing Council Asian Summit.

A Parade of Color, featuring flags representing 500 delegates' origins from 17 countries around the world, added zing to the proceedings which saw a huge number of promoters and boxers including World Champions attending this WBC Summit and 3rd WBC Women?s Annual Convention from 16th - 20th November at the Philippine International Convention Center in Manila.

In front of this elite gathering from the world of Boxing, Jai Singh Shekhawat and Sam Fernandes of Royal Sports Promotions (RSP) from India took the 2018 Best Boxing Promoter Award for Asia.

Royal Sports Promotions (RSP) has in its fold, close to 30 boxers of whom a few are Champions and some are amateur boxers being groomed by them for a higher level.
