Mauricio Sulaiman tried to justify the British world champion for his fight with Ngannou.
Mauricio Suleiman does not consider Tyson Fury guilty of interfering in the unification fight against Oleksandr Usyk. According to the functionary, the Briton is not to blame for the failure of the fight with Anthony Joshua.
The WBC president named Fury’s possible rivals as the culprits in rejecting the meeting. So, according to the head of the World Boxing Council, the British boxer does not deserve to be criticized for his intention to meet the ex-UFC champion in the ring.
“Fury didn’t fight Usyk because Alexander wasn’t ready in December. Then they couldn’t fight in March and then they went their separate ways. The same thing happened to Anthony Joshua, so don’t blame Tyson Fury.
Fury is here, he’s ready. I like his fight with Ngannou. We will not rush into mandatory protection. We book Wilder-Ruiz and the winner is an incredible mandatory challenger. But this battle never happened. They do not join, so there is no mandatory applicant.
Fury is undoubtedly the best heavyweight. We want to see the Fury-Usyk fight, so we will not interfere with the plans for a big confrontation for all the belts. So we are in no rush to find a mandatory contender. We’ll see what happens at the WBC convention.
Everyone is focused on October 28th. Once the Ngannou fight takes place, the WBC will hold a convention from November 12 to 17. After that, the WBC governing body will decide on the super heavyweight division,” Suleiman of Manchester Evening News mentioned.
We remind you that the fight between Fury and Ngannou will take place on October 28 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Previously, Fury revealed how much Ngannou would earn from fighting him.
