The World Boxing Council has confirmed the cessation of relations with the Chinese Boxing Federation. No reason was given for the split. Since 2002, the WBC has made a considerable effort to boost professional boxing activities in China. They were the first body to hold an annual convention in Chengdu, the first body to stage a world championship fight in China and the first body to crown a Chinese world champion (Xiong Chao Zhong). The WBC intends to continue to work actively to develop the sport in that country.

I guess they severed ties because the WBC thinks that they can run boxing in China themselves. Then they get more money and don't have to share it.

I hoped Wilder had to face Jun Long Zhang once, who seems to be better when I look at his statistics, but it seems to be avoided this way, or do I understand this wrongly?
