WBC Committee Reports - Fightnews Asia

International Committee Chairman Mauro Betti says that the aim was to surpass the 49 Championship fights of last year, which has a Marciano ring to it, but this has been a “Particular year.” The aim is to get back on track ASAP.

Next year is the 35th anniversary of the International Committee, created by Don Jose Sulaiman. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman thanked Mauro, describing him as a gladiator.

Silver Championship Chairman Mike George described it as a springboard to greatness for so many champions. These have included Abner Mares, Danny Garcia Tony Bellew, Chavez Jr, and Canelo. Mike is looking forward to 2021 “When we can get our footing.”

A similar situation with the Mediterranean Committee. Its Chairman Houcine Houchi reports many fights have been canceled, but now some bouts are coming up and pleased to report that the Francophone Title is becoming appreciably more prestigious.
