Jose Sulaiman has resigned as president of the WBC - good riddance!

Sweet. Now you can't hurt our beloved sport anymore, you fat bastard.

Ty Rochiggani, but lets be honest, this is probably because they were going to take his wages or something, the WBC will still be run by him. Karma is a bitch.

Don't start to may threads but man you beat me to one here!! Bit of a shocker eh. Say's Don king announced he was finished as well

Well at least he's acknowledging the obvious...officially now ?!

To be honest mate, I thought someone would've posted it before I did. I'm glad I got to be the bearer of good news.

With regards to Don King being finished? I'm taking that with a pinch of salt as that would say to me that there is no chance of Pac/Floyd (I don't wanna go there) and, obviously, if there was a sniff of money he would be there. He'll be back I'm sure.

Wtf? Looks like we spoke to soon. He is back:

Long-time World Boxing Council (WBC) president Jose Sulaiman's unexpected resignation on Wednesday over Vitali Klitschko's fight schedule was later overturned by the organisation's board of governors.
Sulaiman, president for nearly 35 years, stunned the WBC's annual convention when he resigned after making a plea that WBC heavyweight champion Klitschko should be allowed a voluntary defense in March before his mandatory defense in June.
But American boxing promoter Don King said the winner of a December bout between the top two contenders should get to fight Klitschko without him having a bout beforehand.
According to Sulaiman, the sanction fees generated from an extra bout would be helpful in going towards a financial burden from the lingering fallout of a legal dispute.
The WBC's board of governors unanimously voted not to accept Sulaiman's resignation. Sulaiman, who later apologized for his outburst, told Reuters his paramount objective is financially saving the WBC.

I guess the world was a better place for a couple of hours.

actually, sulaiman's non-retirement is good for WBC boxing. he, sulaiman, has made the WBC as the most legit and viable boxing organization in the world. that, cannot be disputed!

It WAS. Not sure it still is 'legit' to be honest.
