It is with great pleasure to announce that the WBC (World Boxing Council) has joined forces with VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) to initiate the WBC CLEAN BOXING PROGRAM, first proposed by our late President Dr.Jose Sulaiman Ch. Now under the directive of our President Mauricio Sulaiman this program will be another WBC dream come true.
Lucas Matthysse (37-3, 34KOs) does not rule out the possibility of heading up to the welterweight limit in 2016 to continue his hunt for a rematch with Danny Garcia (31-0, 18KOs). Matthysse is still hungry to avenge his twelve round decision loss to Garcia in September of 2014 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Saul Alvarez. It's been Matthysse's only defeat in his last ten fights.
