Despite stating his intention to step down as WBC president yesterday, Jose Sulaiman was unanimously reelected for another term at the helm of the sanctioning body today at the WBC conventon in Phuket. Thailand. Sulaiman said, "I am really touched by the depth of the thoughts that my friends have expressed. I will devote one-hundred percent of my time to do the best that I can do. I am a fighter and a warrior, and I will continue being so. I cannot change." He called his reelection, "the basis and the foundation of the new beginning, loyalty and friendship. We will build our image and our institution with good work. This way, we can find new ways to take boxing ahead. I promise you that we will do our very best to work the following years for the benefit of the promotion of boxing."

He runs the thing like a Central American president runs his country.

A vile little man.

What a tosser...

I think the judging cock-up after the first Brodie v Chi fight just about summed up what a donut this bloke is.

When he dies his epitah on his gravestone should read...

Here 'lies' Jose Sulaiman.

:wink:

I assume his 'stepping down' was just to save face in case he wasnt re-elected...

Given that the committee consists of his family and yes-men, it was hardly surprising he got re-elected....
