Papa Godett Trophy
May 30 @ 18:00 - 22:00
Wilson “Papa” Godett (1932-1995) was, in addition to a trade union leader and politician, a top boxer from Curaçao.
As a boxer, Godett was very successful under the name Papa Diamante Negro (Papa Black Diamond). He boxed against impressive boxers such as Baby Dynamite, Sugar Boy Nando and Young Tunney. In 1954 he became Caribbean champion.
Until 2015, a boxing program was organized every year on May 30 at the orange building of FOL (Frente Obrero Liberashon 30 di Mei), with the “Papa Godett Trophy” for the best boxer of the evening/night.
This event will return again this year.
