Savan is very patriotic and has strong nationalistic feelings. He has often turned down the opportunity to turn pro and cash in on opportunities to fight in the states so that he could continue his amateur career and fight in the Olympics. Savan wants the chance to win Cuba's tournament to cement his reputation as the best Cuban boxer of all time. After the conclusion of the tournament, Savan wants to actively pursue the only other fighter mentioned in the same breath as Savan, Teofilo Stevenson. He wants to quickly build his record with an active schedule so that he will have a chance to challenge his fellow countryman for a professional title.
It can be either Muckboy or Muckboys, I don't remember what I originally put down and I'll probably write it as either depending on how I feel.

With Rampage Jackson, we've done and will do a fair bit of hand holding due to the fact that he is switching sports and his primary strength his wrestling is illegal in Boxing. However with Felix's long amateur career I personally see no reason for any hand holding and intended to set him on the fast track to the top. So Mr. Savan can rest assured that he will be competing in the Cuban National Tournament and after winning it he will get the best possible opponents to get him that Teofilo fight. Finally, since my family is from Cuba I want with all my heart to have the best Cuban fighter in the world under the Muckboys' banner.
