WBC Boxing News: Julio Cesar Chavez, JR – Saul Alvarez Not HAPPENING

The World Boxing Council has not received any official request to sanction the fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and the fighters currently have statutory commitments which they are obliged to comply with; the same WBC Rules and Regulations that have taken them to their respective world championships.

It is not very courteous and respectable either, that promoters announce some fight before receiving authorization from the organization that recognizes their fighters as world champions, even though the WBC does not object at all to such fight being carried out.

It is our opinion that Julio, as well as Saul, could make several defenses to have more experience and higher international renown, as that is when they could earn much more money than the money they can earn now.

Regarding mandatory fights in the WBC Rules and Regulations, the winner of Julio Cesar Chavez vs Pete Manfredo, will have to fight against WBC Diamond champion, Sergio Martinez, in the first quarter of the next year, in accordance with what is stipulated by the WBC since Chavez officially fought for the world title.

In relation to “Canelo” Alvarez, he will have to defend his title against the fighter who is appointed the official challenger, as Vanes Martirosyan declined to fight against Alfred Angulo in the final elimination bout.
