There have been some Cuban fighters that have won championships, but in Cuba, today, boxing is not legal. There are not a lot of training opportunities for the sport on the island of Cuba.

It is because the Cuban government won't allow them to leave Cuba. They are well treated there, but except for carefully managed events like the Olympics, they are never allowed to leave.

Because Cuba is a communist country. They train their fighters year round strictly for the Olympics. Three rounds only- no body punches.
