Yes, you found that here: http://www.wbcboxing.com/downloads/N...FINAL_2009.pdf

Here are the current WBC rules, which appear in the rules section of the WBC website: http://wbcboxing.com/downloads/WBCRu...d13Dec2011.pdf
The CURRENT rules state:
In its sole discretion, the WBC shall subsequently determine the timing and terms of any bout between a Champion and Interim Champion to determine a sole champion in the division, provided, however, that an Interim Champion shall never be deemed a mandatory challenger, or entitled to greater share of proceeds of any purse offer beyond that of a challenger, without a specific prior written order to that effect from the WBC President or his designee.
Did you purposely post old rules that no longer appear in the rules section and have been replaced because you wanted to fool everyone? Or did you make an innocent mistake?
