CANASTOTA, NY –MARCH 14, 2025 - The International Boxing Hall of Fame and Museum is pleased to announce that Hall of Fame three-division world champion Felix “Tito” Trinidad will attend 2025 Hall of Fame Induction Weekend festivities set for June 5-8 in “Boxing’s Hometown.”
“I am eager to return to Canastota. It is an honor to share this moment with my boxing family, to have the opportunity to give a well-deserved welcome to the 2025 Hall of Fame class, and to personally congratulate a boxer I deeply admire and respect—the legendary Manny Pacquiao. This event is a unique opportunity to reconnect with fellow boxers, former fighters, and above all, the passionate boxing fans whose enthusiasm keeps the greatness of this sport alive,” said Trinidad.
