This came out yesterday from the latest convention of the WBC. http://wbcboxing.com/wbcVersEng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1366&Itemid=80 " Press release The World Boxing Council ordered by unanimous votes that the mandatory defense of the of the WBC Middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has to be against the Diamond Champion Sergio Martinez but also allowed that if both parties reach to an agreement, they can have voluntary defenses and then the winner of each bout fight between them for the WBC Title. Julio Cesar Chavez called the President of the World Boxing Council to ask his approval for his voluntary defense next February 4, so the President had to called Sergio Martinez who accepted that Chavez Jr. fights because he will also fight in March, so both boxers agreed to fight between them after their voluntary defenses. Its between the parties the final decision when theyll fight. Nowhere to run for Jr. :shock:
Lies. Martinez and DiBella denied this. Boxing is ****ed. No regulations whatsoever. Just do what they want.
**** Sulaiman and the WBC. The WBC is Israel for overhypped Mexican fighters to claim and hold a title. I dont know why people hold them as the most respected sanction. It is the least legitimate belt in my eyes.
DiBella is saying otherwise! Might as well make a rule that if you are not a Mexican you can't hold the WBC belt, oh and say it was a unanimous desicion by the comitee.
