Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on March 29, 1952)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Teófilo Stevenson! You floated like a butterfly, stung harder than Cuban coffee, and made heavyweight boxing look easier than blowing out birthday candles. Winning Olympic gold in 1972, 1976, and again in 1980—your opponents probably wished they'd stayed home instead of stepping into your ring.

Your punches were timeless classics; each jab was poetry with gloves on. Even today we celebrate how you turned every match into an unforgettable spectacle—and left us wondering if anyone could ever fill those golden shoes (or gloves). Here's hoping heaven has enough cake for Cuba's greatest champ!
