Mofo2 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo†Alvarez has to decide soon which one of his junior middleweight titles he plans on keeping because the World Boxing Council doesn’t let their champions to hold multiple belts. According to Fightnews.com, Canelo is expected to keep the WBA title rather than the WBC belt. However, it’s very, very hard to imagine the WBC forcing the issue before Canelo’s September 14th fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. because of the big sanctioning fee that would be available for that fight if Canelo were to have the WBC strap.

Mofo2 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 It was only last week he was determined to keep both....seems most fighters are full of shit when this happens, they always back down and forfeit a belt far to easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrican23 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 dump it if you lose the fight you lose it anyhow save that money on the fee, if you win the fight you wont need none of the belts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
