World Boxing Council Wbc

The World Boxing Council is Boxing's elite sanctioning body and has as its maximum priority to work and protect for athlete's safety and health inside and outside of the boxing ring. The WBC was founded in 1963 and now is composed by 165 countries from around the world. Some of our greatest champions are Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar de La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao among others. What's new? The WBC is an organization that is working and will continue to work tirelessly, with each of its members trying to position boxing as the number one sport, mostly to protect the fighter in all respects. The proof of this is that for 48 years, the World Boxing Council has organized its annual convention, featuring boxers, referees, promoters, judges and representatives of affiliated organizations from all over the world. In the last Convention, number 48, the following points were approved- The use of oxygen during fights. During the resting minute, the fighters will have access to oxygen- The use of a new certification of gloves as of 2012, to ensure they are within the parameters of safety for the boxers- The use of a written protocol for all that bandages must be, what is permitted as well as what is not permitted, so that it can be dealt with in the same way throughout the world- The referees have the authority to stop the fight when an opponent is in poor condition and does not have the slightest opportunity to emerge victorious. We cannot fail to mention one of the most important aspects with its altruistic concept that is being carried out by this organization, which is the creation of WBC Cares, a charitable organization under the leadership of the World Boxing Council, aiming to bring a message of hope and inspiration through world-class athletes who visit youth centers, hospitals and orphanages.
