Olympic and triple world amateur boxing champion Andy Cruz — who was expelled from Cuba’s official federation in July — is planning to turn pro and says he left his home country “legally,” after speculation he had defected.
HAVANA, Cuba — In an interview with ESPN given in Spanish, the 27-year-old Cruz did not reveal his current location, though specialized blogs said he had gone to the Dominican Republic about two weeks ago.
Cruz was expelled from competing for Cuba in July after what the country’s boxing federation said was an attempt to “illegally leave the country” the month before. Cruz — the Olympic lightweight champion at the Tokyo Summer Games held a year late in 2021 — explained to ESPN that his relationship with Cuba was “good” because he got an “out from the national team” and left the country “legally.”
