So good for Puello to be elevated as full champion. But then again, WBC is one of the most corrupt if not the most corrupt governing body in boxing with the Sulaiman's on top for many decades already.
The fact there was even an interim championship while Haney was still an active champion shows how corrupt the WBC is. Puello and Russell weren’t even the most deserving fighters in the division that they needed to fight for a title. The WBC just loves creating belts out of thin air whenever Al Haymon asks them for a favor. As long as they can extract more sanctioning fees it is a win-win for both sides.
I remember that they have a lot of belts, during the Pacquiao reign, sort of like a special belt for him. Anyhow, I do agree, even request by a powerful boxing manager and promoter like Al Haymon, can't be denied by this organizations.
And hopefully, HE Turki Alalshikh might change everything if he will take over boxing as that was the plan. Their could be resistance, but for sure if Mauricio Sulaiman is offered big money, maybe he will lead go of his organization.
