In this episode of The Boxing Biz Podcast, we dive into the controversy around Mauricio Sulaimán and the WBC possibly being shut out of the ring after the Canelo vs Crawford super fight. For decades, it’s been tradition for the WBC president to step inside and hand the iconic green belt to the champion — but with Dana White and TKO’s new promotional model, that ritual might be broken.
We’ll explore:
📜 The history of the WBC and how long they’ve been presenting belts in-ring.
🥊 How this tradition defines legitimacy and pageantry in boxing.
🆚 A look at the UFC model, where Dana White always puts the belt around the winner.
⚖️ Is change good for boxing, or is the sport losing its soul?
🔥 Predictions on whether promoters like Dana White are modernizing boxing or ruining traditions.
💬 Join the debate: Should sanctioning bodies like the WBC still present their belts, or should boxing fully embrace the UFC-style model?
