WBC President Jose Sulaiman announced that they will come out with a proposal to the WBA, IBF and WBO to hold a tournament of champions. The WBC plans to organize a "meeting of four" and conclude an agreement to hold unification fights between champions from these versions every four years in all seventeen weight categories. The bouts will be held only with the participation of champions and will consist of three fights: two semifinals and a final, or fewer fights, depending on the number of participants in each weight class.
\n \nAccording to Sulaiman, he will not insist that all the listed organizations join this initiative and will be satisfied if two more in addition to the WBC agree. \n \nHe also stated that the WBC wants to participate in the development of amateur boxing and in organizing tournaments among amateurs and will try to establish interaction with the IOC and the International Amateur Boxing Federation. \n \nSulaiman also spoke about referee Joe Cortez's proposal to increase the weight of gloves by two ounces for all weight categories except minimumweight and junior flyweight, which will be considered next year. In addition, on December 6 in Mexico, the WBC plans to hold a Night of Champions, to which about 100 celebrated champions of the past will be invited. \n
