The WBC Board of Governors voted unanimously to name Mikkel Kessler Champion Emeritus and Ambassador of Good Will, due to his accomplishments inside and outside the ring, after he sustained an injury, which will keep him inactive for a long period of time.

The WBC also conducted a voting procedure to determine how the title would be filled and by a majority voting, the WBC Board of Governors accepted to sanction the fight between number 1 and mandatory challenger Andre Dirrell versus [WBA champion] Andre Ward for the WBC championship to be held on September 25, 2010.

The fight between former champion Carl Froch and Arthur Abraham, which will be contested on October the 2nd, will be sanctioned as a final elimination bout and the winner of both fights must fight each other.

The WBC accepted to support the Super Six Tournament organized by Show Time and 5 different promoters from around the world and have participated at all times to support its progress and its success.

We are very proud of the great fighters that are entering the final stage of the Super Six Tournament and wish them all the best of luck.
