  • I’ve seen one or two of those belts that were nice… this is not one of them.

    • Very symbolic with the two flags (UK and Ukraine) embedded. I wonder what they are going to do if, at the last minute, Fury withdraws from the fight for any reason.

  • WBC will do anything in order to get more money from fighters just so they can have a “special” belt.

    • It’s the opposite … the fighters make more money after they become a great fighters then wbc rewards them

      • Oh, Carlos, write when you are sober. To be a great fighter does not necessarily mean you’ll get more money, and sanctioning bodies never rewards them; they are just sucking their money and doing nothing for them.

  • Why does Fightnews even have any connection with the sanctioning bodies in the first place?

  • Another Mickey Mouse special belt, I wonder how much Rick Harrison would pay for it

  • The estate of the late, great world champion Graciano Rocchigianni deserves a special belt. Rocky sued the WBC for $30million and won, nearly bankrupting & putting the corrupt organization out of business! Jose Sulaiman, the Lebanese businessman who ran the WBC out of boxing stronghold Mexico, really did Rocky dirty!

    • Yea because sulaiman tried to protect Roy jones

      Otherwise you would say sulsiman was racist

      And rocky I don’t know what happened but rocky was never a real fighter so you can’t call wbc corrupt for a business out of boxing lol

      • Graciano “Rocky” Rocchigianni was a real fighter and world champion in two divisions. And, he was very exciting to watch. I had the pleasure of meeting him in Berlin. Rocky was a great guy to hang out with, too! RIP

  • I want to believe it is free to the winner, but my analytical mind and the WBC says no.

  • Hopefully, the Saudis can figure out how to get rid of the sanctioning body parasites. Boxing will forever be grateful.

    • They have the money to put them all out of business-hopefully they realize this and do it.
