– Another “special” belt.
– Ain’t that special……..
Yea another special belt for another special fight
Those belts are like tropheys that’s all. It’s not a title.
I’ve seen one or two of those belts that were nice… this is not one of them.
I think that the WBC needs to get belted out.
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.
Spot on comment. Well said.
It’s the opposite … the fighters make more money after they become a great fighters then wbc rewards them
Carlos, is your last name Sulaiman by any chance?
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.
It’s the we’re gonna take your money belt.
They don’t have to pay anything for that belt
Why does Fightnews even have any connection with the sanctioning bodies in the first place?
Because figtnews know the wbc is the best boxing organization of the world
Probably an opinion with a believability of zero.
Now I know who Sulaiman Butler is.
It is not obvious?
This guy have Belt factory?
Another Mickey Mouse special belt, I wonder how much Rick Harrison would pay for it
You don’t have to pay for it
You have to be a great boxer and fight another great boxer to deserve it
Or just pay a sanctioning fee.
Looks like it came from a cracker jack box not impressed
Who cares about ‘special belts’ other than these cretins, the WBC.
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.
We need a wbc lou Albano memorial interim candidate Lauper belt !
The winner of Bivol and Beterbiev deserve one as well!
