WBC Bridgerweight Division Status

The WBC regrets  Oscar Rivas injury as he has suffered a detached retina and will not be able to fight his contracted bout with Rozanski. Consequently, the WBC has placed Oscar Rivas as champion in recess until he confirms his decision about his future.

The WBC Board of governors has voted in favor of the following resolution to immediately address the status of the Bridgerweight division:

To order #1 Alen Babic vs #3 Lukasz Rozanski to fight for the vacant title with a 50-50 split and the winner committed to comply with 2 mandatories. The first mandatory against the winner of the final elimination between Ryad Merhy vs. Kevin Lerena.

To order #2 Ryad Merhy vs. #4 Kevin Lerena to fight a final elimination fight with a 50-50 split and the winner fighting vs. the new champion with a 60-40 split in favor of the champion.

The WBC starts a free negotiations period for both fights. If no agreement is reached a purse offer will be held in Mexico City on Tuesday 31 of January. Promoters may participate via Zoom.
