Surely it makes no difference to anything. It doesn't mean he can't fight, it doesn't even mean he can't fight the WBC world champ, it just means he won't get the belt if he wins. He wasn't a contender in their rankings anyway and he'd already comprehensively failed to win the belt, so it makes no odds.
Although the WBC are a joke. After Warren's ranting about due process and fair hearings Sulaiman came out and said "Of course there will be a hearing, as soon as possible". It's like after he heard Warren complaining he thought "Oh shit, we forgot have a hearing, I'd better pretend I was going to do one all along, I just decided to do things arse-about-face in true WBC fashion".
There are a whole catalogue of irregularities and bullshit controversies involving the WBC. They were nearly forced into bankruptcy in 2004 because of it and if Rocchigiani had stuck to his guns then we would have been rid of them. Clearly they learned nothing from that. Twats.
