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

[p4pking]

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.
