The WBC Rejects Simulated
Fights At Press Conferences
The World Boxing Council expresses complete rejection
concerning the embarrassing fight simulation between Shane
Mosley and Ricardo Mayorga at their press conference
yesterday.
In a video that has been spread through media and social
networks, a staged fight – previously agreed to – is shown
between the fighters. Shane Mosley's and Ricardo Mayorga's
actions could have generated more serious and unfortunate
consequences. These actions are totally unacceptable for our
sport.
Our Lifetime President, Don Jose Sulaiman (may he rest in
peace) suffered for many years after being injured during a
fight between the camps of Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis, a
brawl that was previously agreed to without awareness that
other people were nearby.
The World Boxing Council has a very special esteem for Shane
Mosley and Ricardo Mayorga due to their glorious
achievements in the ring. But at the same time, we firmly
regret these actions that only hurt their image and their
legacy.
