Thread: Tyson Fury has annoyed the WBC

Boxing News | WBC responds to Tyson Fury’s defamatory statements

The WBC want an apology or Fury faces being dropped from the rankings.

Boxing News | Tyson Fury says the WBC froze him out

This is what Fury said.

What does it say about the WBC that a boxers words could even affect his ranking in the first place. It really is the worst organization of them all. There was a picture a while back of Jose Suliman on his hospital bead, any word on whether he's likely to die soon or not? Probably wouldn't matter but we can hope.

Suleiman's name first came to my attention in 1978 whilst reading the postfight report of the Spinks-Ali rematch. He has been a scumbag for decades, he was funding the FARC rebels with drug money, he is a sleaze equal if not eclipsing Don King.

jose sulaiman has been a scourge to boxing for decades...

wbc is pure $#!t, the others are bad too...

Who gives a fuck about the WBC, WBA, WBO, ect. We've gotten to the point where their rankings and belts don't mean a thing. The people/media create their own rankings and crown their own kings of the divisions.

Screw the WBC,another alphabet spaghetti belt.

Very Childish, hope fury stays true to character and tells them to shove it up their ass.

WBC= We Be Crooks says James Toney... Fuck Suliaman too. This is an 80+ year old man who just had a major operation. I doubt he's gonna live long.. Dont worry bruh

I don't actually wish death upon anyone over a sport, just ftr But seriously, this is playground tactics coming from an official commission in a major sport. They are going to drop him from their rankings if he doesn't apologize for calling them names, unbelievable

We can all say that nobody cares about the alphabets, and most fans dont, but the vast majority of fighters always will until there is a more tangible way to guarantee future earnings and opportunities. These crooks have very close ties with promoters and managers and they can make an impact on just about any boxer in the title picture if they so choose. Sucks, but Fury will probably either have to make an apology for this or be refused a crack at WBC eliminators and what have you.

Well Fury has a point really eh?

He has already won an eliminator. Iv never ever heard of a fighter being threatened to lose his ranking because hes said a sanctioning body is treating him unfairly

Oh for sure, nothing Fury said was even untrue or defamatory by the sounds, it's a complete joke. I had no idea they made Arreola-Mitchell an elim or anything, Stiverne already beat Cris quite clearly and that rematch is wasting time, although it could be a good fight. If Fury wanted Stiverne and didn't get an opportunity he has every right to call them out on it, but he might get dropped from their freaking rankings completely? Couldn't make it up.

If it wasn't for bad luck Fury would have none at all at the moment!

Here we have a man screaming just to fuckng fight and everyone seems intent on doing their best to avoid him and even drop him from rankings all together so everyone then has a genuine reason not to fight a non ranked fighter!

I hope he now does cram some fights in.

If nothing else this is raising his profile still. I just hope he gets some rounds in soon before a big fight has landed in his lap and hes not fought anyone competetive for over a year.

Bowe has made peace with WBC, perhaps in time Fury will.

A few points if I may.....

#1 There are like 35 billion sanctioning bodies in boxing, the WBC is only 1.

#2 Who HASN'T Tyson Fury annoyed? If not with his disdain for boxing politics then with his goofy accent and delusions of grandeur.


So the WBC and Tyson Fury are at odds, who the fuck cares? Go win a different title Tyson....if you feel like fighting anytime soon.

Here's the real deal Any heavyweight title that Wladimir Klitschko doesn't own means FUCK ALL

When Sulaiman Senior carks it Sulaiman Junior takes over.
