The ‘silver’ belt is one of the most obvious symbols of WBC corruption. What purpose does it serve other than provide a veneer of legitimacy for paying the WBC to move up the rankings?<\/p>\n

Whittaker doesn’t need to fight, for a price Suliaman ranked him up there with David Morrell, Beterbiev and Yarde.<\/p>\n
If it wasn’t for the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF……boxing wouldn’t need Turki Al-Sheikh and Zuffa boxing would never exist.<\/p>\n

Eddie paid to have Ben ranked #9 but if he paid a little more the WBC would let Ben hold a belt hostage. If Eddie paid a lot more…Benny can keep the belt and Sulaiman himself will claim nobody wants to fight him.<\/p>\n

I wish quittaker luck,
\nEddie can only get his stars 1-2 fights a year let alone Ben, he’s barely top 5 LH uk & so far has only proved to be an ig boxer that looks good on socials.<\/p>\n
