Pyongyang, June 20 (KCNA) -- The title of Hero of Labour of the DPRK

in Japan. Hong, a pro-boxer under the General Association of Korean
Residents in Japan (Chongryon), emerged winner in the super fly category
of the world championships of the world boxing council held in Japan in
August last year and retained his world championship in a match he had
with a challenger in Seoul last May. An awarding ceremony took place at
the Mansudae Assembly Hall yesterday. Present there were Kim Yong Nam, President of the presidium of the DPRK
Supreme People's Assembly, officials concerned, and Hong's party.
After a decree of the presidium of the DPRK spa was read out at the
ceremony, the title of Hero of Labour, the gold medal (hammer and
sickle) and the order of National Flag First Class were awarded to Hong
Chang Su who made great contributions to demonstrating the authority of
the socialist homeland and the might of Chongryon by retaining the world
pro-boxing championship.
