‎'Danny Garcia Must Give Up One Of The Titles, Explains Sulaiman' World Boxing Council (WBC) President Jose Sulaiman has rejected the idea of a WBC champion holding a championship belt from a rival sanctioning organisation. ''In Danny Garcia's case, I did not want to fight with a champion I admire a lot, but we were surprised by his decision to stay with two belts. I gave him 15 days to drop the WBA title and he never did it. We did not want to act at the time, but for his next fight Danny Garcia must make a decision.'', explained Sulaiman. ''The WBC does not accept unification's. When these things come up, the WBC will accepts the fight, but the winner must then decide which title he plans to keep. If he decides to stay with the other organisation, then we''ll vacate our title and crown a new champion.'', Sulaiman said. Garcia's next fight is against Zab Judah in April. Yet the WBC organisation allowed Andre Ward to walk around with both the WBC title and WBA championship belts for long enough. Are the WBC correct in their ways to do this to a unified world champion?
Danny is Puerto Rican. Now way Jose lets him keep that belt. If he was Mexican, he might not even have to fight for it. Andre's not Rican so he didn't register on Jose's radar.
I think by doing this, Sillyman is de-valuing the WBC belt, if people cannot unify, it will become nothing more than a paper title.
Broner vs Some Random Dude for the Vacant WBA 140 lb title will now be coming to a PPV near you in early 2014.
atsch They make up the rules as they go along it seems. This type of crap is part of whats wrong with boxing.
