More to come Silver title vacant The WBC is not only the first but the only boxing sanctioning organization that has instituted the "pre bout safety requirements rules" (medicals and safety weigh-ins) that aim to protect the health and the welfare of all professional boxers during and after their professional careers. The pre bouts weigh-ins are to be done: 30 Days before the championship Not more than 10% of the official limit 14 Days Not more than 5% 7 Days Not more than 3% On these specific days before the official weigh-in. The above safety control reductions is so that we can safely monitor and control the dehydration and rehydration process of the boxers so that they enter the ring in as safe and healthy condition as possible. The WBC pre bout medical requirements are: a. "Complete Physical/Medical Examination"---Valid for one year. b. "MRI" -"Without contrast" valid for 3 years. c. "Ophthalmological" (eye) exam done by an Ophthalmologist--Valid for one year. d. "HIV 1 & 2" and "Hepatitis B&C Surface Antigen" examinations – both valid for 6 months. e. Boxers 35 years and over also need to get EKG and Neurological clearances. f. Boxers 40 years and over needs to get an MRA Clearance. All boxes Competing for a WBC (Male-Female & International) Championship MUST supply a urine sample for prohibited drug testing. Personal thoughts A tough 2020 ended with a still decent WBC International activity if we consider all damages and difficulties caused by the virus. Several championships were already scheduled and dated, when suddenly called off due to the harmful pandemic’s outbreak . We still had a solid closure for a doomed year.
