- Felix Savon (Fabre) won an unprecedented six world amateur championships, three Pan-American games titles, as well as three Olympic gold medals but never turned profession. Coming from communist Cuba, Savon became a symbol of Fidel Castro's politically defiant might. Over 12 years and three Olympic games Savon reportedly turned down an estimated 37 million dollars to leave the amateur ranks and follow in the footsteps of fellow countryman Joel Casamayor. The question is, why would Felix Savon turn down fame and fortune for doing what he clearly proved he was the best at? This is the question at the root of this story and perhaps many of the now slanderous rumors saturating Cuba about Savon's reasoning, was it loyalty, fear, or something else entirely? Having cultivated a close relationship with Cuba's popular leader Fidel Castro, perhaps Savon's loyalty would not allow him to betray his friend and President. Now nearly 20 years have past since his last Olympic championship and Savon is ready to set the record straight as he deals with tumultuous rumors of abuse, as well as economic hardships. Now as he is second guessing his decision to stay in Cuba, the great Felix Savon will answer the 37 million dollar question by showing us the country he loves through his own eyes. This is the story of Savon.
