WBC unveils “Mazahua – May 5” belt

Today was supposed to be the day when Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders clashed at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The WBC was planning to present the special “Adolfo López Mateos” belt to the winner.

The belt was designed to reward and recognize fighters who face each other on the two most symbolic dates for Mexico, May 5 (Battle of Puebla) and September 16 (Independence Day).

This year’s “Mazahua – May 5, 2020” belt is a masterpiece created by Angélica and Lilia Reyes Martínez, great artisans of the Mazahua culture from the State of Mexico.

During the next few days, the WBC will inform how and to whom this beautiful work of art will be presented.

  • WBC should start a subscription service called “Belt of the Month Club.” Who knows, they might even be able to replace fight sanctioning with this concept.

    • Can’t replace sanctioning fees-this concept would have to be in addition to them.

  • The winner gets a an all expense paid ride to his hotel in the Mystery Machine

  • Sorry about that previous comment….was a mistake. Meant to say we don’t need anymore effin belts…too many as is.

  • Ok, let’s think this thru. Saunders is from the UK. Canelo is from Mexico. This is a belt giving recognition to Mexico, right? Is this fight fixed? We know the right thing to do is give Alvarez the fight on behalf of his home country and what better way to give recognition, right?

    • Of course. Golden boy promotions is now Ginger boy promotions. Where was this concept 20 years ago when the best of the best battled? ODH or Tito never got flowered belts.
      The WBC revolves around Canelo and hand picking his opposition.

  • Does the WBC have any idea how many belts of no significance they’ve given out? I think they’re trying to outdo the WBA? Amazing in this day and age they’re still trying to put these ridiculous belts on the table. SULIAMAN do you even believe your own B.S?

  • Even if this pandemic had not arrived I doubt that this clash would have taken place today being a Sunday no way no how.

  • Every time the WBC invents another championship belt it just makes them look stupider.

  • Okay I know the WBC is Mexican based, but it is the “WORLD” Boxing Council. Has the BBBofC, CBC or EBU issued a VE belt? No sort yourself out Suliman & cut the bias!!..
