WBC President José Sulaimán commented, “The inaugural WBC Silver Championship is an extraordinary accolade of the WBC World Silver Championship will create unmatched excitement and a chance for boxers to achieve, winning a title with world recognition.....

Just wait until they get the interim version of that,or champ in recess,what if the WBO,WBA,WBF,IBC,IBO,WBU,IBF all do the same then it will be possible for almost every active boxer in this country to claim they are world champ

How many belts does one weight division need!

April Fool, surely?

[ra2006]

good grief! First there was Diamond, now silver.

Is this a replacement for the international belt or is it in addition to it?

Where does to rank in importance, above or below the international belt?

So many quetions and too many santioning fees.

So is this like an Interim Championship belt, sort of? Or is it like the WWE Intercontinental or U.S. Title? Not quite a World Champ, more like second best. I guess that's where silver comes in, though IMHO this belt sounds absolutely ridiculous. The WBC is putting themselves in the same clown show position as the WBA has with their whole Super, World and Ordinary Champion crap they had going on. This is a prime opportunity for the WBO, IBF and IBO (those are the belts Wlad wears if I'm not mistaken) to make a push to the fore front while the WBC and WBA make themselves look stupid and their titles that more less legitimate. The IBC, IBA and WBF could take advantage of their stupidity as well.

Yes, it's basically the interim belt. The Humble Servant of Boxing has ditched interim titles but essentially renamed them Silver titles. Same sh1t, different colour.

I'm just going to start belting old people going past my place to get their daily paper from the milk bar and after thirty or so call my self the Openweight world champion of Bentliegh, Melbourne. I'll buy advertising spots in most of the boxing periodicals and will, therefore, be recognized as a force in boxing.

[sevenofgeorge]

So what happens when a Silver Belt Champ beats a Gold Belt Champ? Do they trade belts or is the Silver Title declared vacant? BTW, WTF is the Diamond Belt?

[sevenofgeorge]

Never mind:

How gay is that? What's next, a Platinum Champion? Or how about an Obsidian Champion (an all black WBC Title belt)?
WBC is turning into a full time clown show. I think it's time for the IBF, WBO and IBO (which is still not considered a legitimate title by some) to step to the forefront and let the WBC take the back seat with the WBA.

[dondada]

Utter shite.

"Cross their palms with silver" and get world recognition!

Roll up all ye' second rate fighters.

Any mention of a Bronze Belt to?

Fck me!

[sevenofgeorge]

They should have a brown belt for all the crappy fighters too, so they don't feel left out either. It could be called the You Suck Championship and the brown colour represents how crappy they really are.

[terrez]

STOP INVENTING MORE BELTS!! THERE IS ENOUGH ALREADY! ALL IT DOES LEADS TO IS CONFUSION AND BELITTLEMENT OF CURRENT RESPECTED BELTS AND RANKINGS!!
