Background

TARGET: Children between 8 to 18 years (witness, harassed, stalker), Fathers, Teachers, SOciety in general
OBJETIVE:

Idea
Three big names of the Spanish boxing scene competed in a boxing match dedicated to the fight against bullying at Casino Gran Madrid de Torrelodones, a match also broadcasted live on TV in Spain. But the boxing champions did not have their popular boxing nicknames on their ring jackets, instead they were replaced with most common insults used by kids.
Míriam La Reina Gutiérre changed her name to La Guarra Gutiérrez (En: The Slag), Ardi Rodríguez changed his name to Puto Friki Rodríguez (En: Fucking Nerd) and Cristian Mini Tyson Vélez changed his name to Gordo de Mierda Vélez (En: Fat Shit).

Sportsmen and women are joining the movement by changing their names or nicknames for a day, to insults to raise awareness and mobilise society against this drama and let victims know that they are not alone and that bullying can be overcome through sport.
