Low fees than before, which may require the WBC of his athletes. Compared with “ESPN Deportes”, he said: “flexibility will be necessary, you will need to make adjustments to the situations that come together, fees adjust. What I say directly that we all need to be flexible. The sanction fees will decrease and we will try to keep the expenditure for each lower.“
Also, further measures to be decided from case to case. “José Ramírez, for example, wanted to defend his title in the light Welterweight against Viktor Postol. It should only take place in February in China, and was moved, then it should start in may in California and was moved. Today, Postol in the Ukraine, and if he can’t travel, then we can not punish Ramirez for that,“ said Sulaimán. In addition, he indicated that there may be struggles with being Overweight for Champions could be allowed, because not all can train at a hundred percent level.
