    Earlier today, the President of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Jose Sulaiman, stayed firm on his demand for Saul "Canelo" Alvarez to drop one of his two junior middleweight titles. Canelo, who holds the WBC title at 154, captured the championship of the World Boxing Association (WBA) with a twelve round decision over Austin Trout on April 20th. On Tuesday morning Canelo traveled to Panama and met with WBA Vice President Gilberto Mendoza, who officially presented the Mexican superstar with his title belt. Sulaiman is going to give Canelo four to five days to make a decision.

    Though the World Boxing Council has not recently allowed for its world title to be held alongside other sanctioning bodies’ belts, super middleweight champion Andre Ward has been the owner of both the WBC and World Boxing Association titles for nearly nine months now. Ward captured the WBA belt in November 2009 when he beat Mikkel Kessler by technical decision in his first fight of the “Super Six” super middleweight tournament. He won the WBC belt in December when he topped Carl Froch in the tournament’s finale. (Ward defended both titles this past Saturday, stopping Chad Dawson.)


    I was initially about to say "no way a unification happens", but K2's pockets are a bottomless pit. If Wladimir pays Uncle Sully enough to let him unify all the belts, he'll hopefully shuddup and let it slide.

        Stiverne is number one contender, so any future WBC title fight needs to include him. I doubt Wilder will fight for the belt and Wlad will not have an instant unifications. Fury v Stiverne?

            Thanks.

            Well if a unification is to happen, Sillyman has to change the rules of his organization. It's not impossible at all, but it's not very likely. Sadly.

              Wilder does not have the it factor for a couple reasons - he has thin, weak legs and his balance is horrid.

                I really hope Grabimir doesn't get his boring hands on the WBC belt.

                  Still, deep pockets could make all the difference. Mayweather still holds the WBA and WBC belts at 154, and we haven't heard any complaints from Sulaiman's cronies for a while now. Even after Alvarez unified with Trout, barely a peep was heard.

                  Pay any of these sanctioning body crooks enough cash and they'll let something worthwhile take place - including, hopefully, the unification of the world heavyweight championship at last.

                      Is this really necessary? The topic of discussion is the vacant WBC belt, who will fight for it and win it, and how Wlad (naturally) wants that belt to.

                      These types of posts could really hurt your credibility as an objective member on topics concerning Wlad Klitschko.
