The WBC recognizes the professionalism of both fighters and their respective teams, as they have complied with all medical requirements, examinations and safety protocols required.

One of the main priorities of the World Boxing Council is the total implementation of the new Weight Management Program, which aims to protect the health of fighters.

For the previous weigh in  of 30 days, the boxers must not weigh more than 10% of the limit of their division, for the 14 days they must not exceed more than 5% and for the 7 days 3%.

* The fighters must be weighed in the dressing room of the arena where the fight will take place. Although it is an unofficial weighing, it must be done to monitor that the established percentage is not exceeded, to insure the integrity of the boxers.

We greatly appreciate the work of William Boodhoo, who is responsible for promptly following up with all the requirements.
