World Boxing Council President Mauricio Suleiman believes the Cameroonian deserved it with his performance.
Francis Ngannou fully meets all the criteria to be included in the top 10 rankings of the best boxers of the WBC, despite the fact that he only had one fight and lost it. This is what World Boxing Council President Mauricio Suleiman said.
According to the functionary, the Cameroonian had a good fight and even managed to knock down the world champion.
“I suggest that you read the rules and study something. The WBC criteria for ranking include, among other things, the activity of an athlete in the Olympic movement, amateur boxing and various of combat sports.
Ngannou competed in Muay Thai, became a champion in another sport, knocked Fury down and lost to him by split decision. Who can question it?
If we take 20-30-40 fighters and ask them how their fight with Ngannou will start, many will start stuttering. I feel very comfortable and proud of the WBC ratings committee,” said Suleiman in comments on iFL TV.
Previously, Fury’s promoter announced if there would be a rematch with Ngannou.
