FLOYD MAYWEATHER IS NOW THE WBC EMERITUS CHAMPION
Kunming, China (November 2, 2015)– The World Boxing Council has finally issued a decision on Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs), who holds the WBC championship at 147lbs and 154lbs.
Mayweather has been given the status of WBC Champion Emeritus.
The announcement was made by WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman at the sanctioning organization’s 53rd annual convention in Kunming, China.
Mayweather retired from boxing in September after defeating Andre Berto.
The status of Champion Emeritus grants Mayweather the ability to get an immediate title shot at the current WBC titleholder at 147 or 154.
This decision frees up the WBC 147lb and 154lbs belt allowing the top contenders to fight for this belt.
Mauricio Sulaiman, the President of the WBC, also took the opportunity to deliver some awards, including the “Lifetime Achievement Award” to Mayweather for capturing WBC world titles in five different weight divisions
AMIR KHAN-DANNY GARCIA REMATCH ORDERED FOR WBC WELTERWEIGHT WORLD TITLE
The WBC have ordered that former unified 140-pound World Champions Amir Khan and Danny Garcia face off for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship.
The WBC gave their former champion at 147-pounds & 154-pounds, Floyd Mayweather, the status of ”Champion Emeritus” at both weight classes.
They also ruled that the #1 & #2 ranked contenders in both weight classes meet for their now vacant world titles.
At welterweight, Khan (31-3, 19KO’s) is the #1 ranked contender while Garcia (31-0, 18KO’s) is the #2 ranked contender. The fight would be a rematch of their July 2012 140-pound World Championship unification clash in Las Vegas; where Khan got off to a blistering start before being caught by a looping left hook by Garcia and eventually being stopped in the 4th round of an all action battle.
Meanwhile, at super welterweight, Jermell Charlo (27-0, 12KO’s) – the #1 ranked contender – was ordered to meet John Jackson (20-2, 15KO’s) for the vacant WBC 154-pound world title.
