Ajose Olusegun will not be denied the opportunity to fight for and win the WBC title

No it isn't. They took that out of their rules at the last convention.

 

I hope you successfully sue them, or at least have the WBC title not up for grabs in the Garcia v Khan fight. There's no way on this earth that Khan fights Ajose to defend that title, if he wins it.

 

Ahh, fair enough, they should sue them then.

The fans should of let that German guy bankrupt them yet fans pleased with him to settle with the WBC which was odd.

 

no they didnt, gab montoya confirmed its dtill in there rules.

 

3.8 Special Bout Sanction.
Under special circumstances, such as a match involving an elite contender, a unification bout, or other match that the WBC determines in its sole discretion would be in the best interests of boxing, the WBC may order and/or sanction such bout as either a voluntary or mandatory defense, and may order that such special bout take precedence over and occur prior to any previously designated mandatory defense.


Good luck with that law suit....

 

I think the issue will be that they contracted with Ajose that he'd be the next to get a shot at the title.

 

I shouldn't post this, but **** it. Cred to BS for it.

 

It is genuinely shameful though. What is the point of fighting at all when you'll get overlooked?

 

That's what's having a good promoter is all about, though. Ajose doesn't have a strong backing. Absolutely none of this should be a surprise. It was all painfully obvious.

Just like his manager said, they might as well make a deal because they're not going to win it. I said the same in the earlier posts, too.

Like I said bro, no morals in this sport.

 

Absolutely shocked...........NOT!

 

The first page of their official rules is below. It looks like they have covered their ass by giving themselves the right to do whatever they want.

1.1 Applicability and Interpretation of these Rules and Regulations. In all WBC-sanctioned championship and elimination contests, these Rules and Regulations, the WBC Championship Rules as promulgated by the WBC from time to time, and all other rules and rulings issued by the WBC shall apply, unless due to special circumstances a written exception is issued by the WBC in its sole discretion on a case-by-case basis.

1.2 Interpretation of Rules and Power of WBC President to Act in the Best Interests of Boxing.
As special and unique circumstances arise in the sport of boxing, not all of which can be anticipated and addressed explicitly in these Rules and Regulations, the President of the WBC, in consultation with the WBC Board of Governors, has full power and authority to interpret these Rules and Regulations, and to issue and apply such rulings as he shall in his
sole discretion deem to be in the best interests of boxing.

1.3 President’s Authority to Act with Subsequent Ratification. Under special circumstances, if the approval of the WBC Board of Governors is required under these Rules and Regulations for the WBC to take any action, but due to special circumstances it is not possible or practical to obtain such prior approval in a timely manner, the WBC President may take any necessary action, subject to the later ratification of such action by the WBC
Board of Governors.

1.4 No Course of Dealing. As circumstances arising in the sport of boxing are unique to each matter, no decision of the WBC in its discretion shall constitute a precedent or establish a course of dealing upon which other parties may rely. The WBC shall retain the power and authority to issue rulings on a case by case basis in the exercise of its sole discretion.

 

Almost any other business would be annihilated by its regulator for behaviour like the WBC's. Boxing really is pretty ****ed.

 

Just because that's how it's always been surely doesn't mean we have to accept it, surely?

It's not about fair, it's about following your own rules. And it's getting even worse now.

 

Over at scene there saying a agreement for Ajose to step aside is nearly in place.
