Current WBC International Champions up to November 16 2020 Current WBC International champions up to November 16th 2020 Monday In difficult times we have to grit our teeth until the bad moment is over. We had a sensational WBC virtual Convention and Lic. Mauricio Sulaiman Saldivar was confirmed as WBC President for the next 4-year term. A guarantee for the entire global boxing movement, indeed. Before the outbreak of covid-19, the Committee had promoted several championships in only two months, with eighteen more title bouts already regularly sanctioned and scheduled to happen between March, April and May.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

  • World Title Double-Header Tops Mont-Carlo Showdown
    WORLD TITLE DOUBLE-HEADER TOPS MONT-CARLO SHOWDOWN Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and the Casino de Monte-Carlo are delighted to confirm further details of The Monte-Carlo Showdown – an unmissable evening of World Championship boxing taking place in the stunning and unique Monaco setting on Saturday November 30, shown live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US. At the top of the card, undefeated Russian contenders Alexander Besputin (13-0, 9 KOs) and Radzhab Butaev (12-0, 9 KOs) collide for the vacant WBA Welterweight World title in what is a big step up for both men. Besputin, stablemate of three-division World Champion and pound-for-pound star Vasiliy Lomachenko, was an elite amateur at international level before turning pro in 2015 and earning his No.1 ranking with the WBA by racking up 12 straight wins. Butaev, ranked No.2 at 147lbs by the WBA, shares an almost identical record as his compatriot and ‘The Python’, also based in the USA, will be aiming to take home the bragging rights as well as his first World title in what is set to be a barn burner. “This is a long time coming for me,” said Besputin. “I know I belong with the best Welterweights, and November 30 is my opportunity to prove that. I've prepared for this fight my entire boxing life. I had over 300 fights as an amateur and fought the best fighters the world had to offer. I am used to traveling to fight the best, and I look forward to impressing the fans in Monaco." “I am excited and honoured to be fighting for a World title,” said Butaev.

  • Super-Middleweight Talent Umar Sadiq Turns Pro with Frank Warren
    SUPER-MIDDLEWEIGHT TALENT UMAR SADIQ TURNS PRO WITH FRANK WARREN Top amateur star Umar Sadiq insists he is ready to hit the big time after signing a long-term promotional deal with Frank Warren. Londoner Umar has already had a taste of television when he played Anthony Joshua’s double in a recent television advert. And now he is confident of matching Joshua’s success at the highest level by becoming the next British Super-Middleweight to become a household name. He isn’t shy either and is already eyeing up the British title after being encouraged by sparring with World Champions James DeGale and Billy Joe Saunders. “It is time to take it to the next stage,” said Sadiq, who boxed for England and Nigeria, narrowly missing out on representing the African nation at the 2016 Rio Olympics. “I think five novice level fights and then I’ll be ready to start knocking on British titles. “With the confidence I have I believe I can achieve a lot in the professional game by winning major titles. “I have no doubt in my ability. As an amateur I boxed the best in the World. I haven’t fought as a professional yet, but I have sparred with world champions and never been left wanting.” Umar who graduated in accountancy at London Metropolitan University has also given up a highly-paid accountants job in the city to follow his boxing dream. The two-time Haringey Box Cup winner added: “I know what level I’m at and I can step up at anytime, people will realise that soon enough.
