News WBC teams up with Turki

[David Street]

Turki Alalshikh, as an organizer and promoter of top-level boxing, has established cooperation with the head of the WBC, Mauricio Sulaimanov, and on the basis of this cooperation, a new boxing project is being born under the banner of the World Boxing Council , and it will be a boxing Gran Prix, where competitors who are not older than 26 and have 10 professional fights will compete.

It will take place in the featherweight, junior middleweight, middleweight and heavyweight categories, the number of competitors per Grand Prix is to be 128, or 32 per division, and the quarter-finals and semi-finals will be 8-round fights, while the finals will take place over 10 rounds. You have to admit it's an interesting idea and it will probably be a very good test for the prospects of these weight classes, so let it happen.

Sounds like a logistical f#cking nightmare.

the quality of this may be severely lacking, but at least they are trying something

seen as though its for younger guys as well, they wont be ranked yet so shouldnt be hampered by it being a WBC event, it could actually benefit the WBC in the long run

why does the head of WBC act like it matters what his father's dying wish was?

you're a sanctioning body, at least try to act professional. for fuck's sake.

What Turki Alalshikh, was talking about doing with Dana White he went and did it with the head of the WBC, Mauricio Sulaimanov sounds like it will be a mess this young fighter tourney. Maybe Dana will get involved in this?
