Although this is not the first time that the WBC has unveiled a special belt for a major fight, the organization strives to find innovative methods to add innovation to the sport of boxing. It appears that not all boxing fans are thrilled with the WBC’s decision to introduce yet another championship belt for the upcoming match between Canelo Alvarez and John Ryder.
In fact, many have expressed their disapproval, believing that the addition of more belts is diluting the value of the championship and detracting from the prestige of the sport. Some have even suggested that the WBC’s motive for introducing the new belt is to make Canelo look good in photos with an abundance of championship belts. While the WBC’s intentions may have been to honor the cultural significance of the event, it seems that not all fans are on board with the decision.
