WBO Global title - Description please!
Posted: 21 Dec 2019, 12:34
Hi,
I have questions about the WBO Global title. What's the description of that title in a few sentences, what is its value and what can a boxer do with it, what rights does he get? Like, can he fight as a mandatory challenger for the WBO Interim, or regular title?
I guess it's like the WBA Gold & WBC Silver title. I'm loking forward to your answers!
Text examples:
WBA Gold Champion:
The Gold Champion is supposedly the mandatory to the Regular Champion, but the interim Champion is surely in line to get a shot at the Regular title as well at some point. It is basically the WBA’s version of the WBC Silver title.
WBC Silver Champion:
WBC headed by its president Don Jose Sulaiman, in another innovative move, has announced that the premier world boxing body is studying the possibility of replacing the often confusing and sometimes questionable interim championships with a WBC world silver championship. Sulaiman said the idea of a WBC Silver championship is “to give value to many fights that cannot be for a WBC world title but are bouts of great importance.“ The WBC president believes that “it is necessary to also implement new measures for greater opportunities for boxers
and promoters“ and this is what the WBC World Silver title belt aims to achieve. While the rules and regulations covering WBC Interim
championships are very clear and state that they can only be approved when a champion is inactive for six months or longer due to legal
or medical problems.
