WBC #belttotrash Reason 1

For years, the WBC’s politricks game has been second to none. And the latest chapter in their corruption saga proves it.

After years of chasing Canelo Alvarez, David Benavidez fought his way back—again—to the #1 mandatory spot. He beat Caleb Plant, he beat Demetrius Andrade, he did everything the WBC rulebook says you’re supposed to do.

But when it came time to force Canelo to defend his belt?
The WBC folded like a lawn chair.

Instead of enforcing a mandatory, they pulled out their favorite failsafe trinket:
the “interim” belt.
Not earned. Not needed. Not legitimate. Just handed to Benavidez as a pacifier while their cash cow avoided his biggest challenge at 168.

Let’s be clear:
Interim titles are only supposed to exist when the champion is injured or unavailable.
Canelo was neither.
But the WBC doesn’t even follow its own policies.

With the #WBC, everything has a price tag.
Want to skip your mandatories? Cut a check.
Want to get elevated without earning it? Cut a bigger check.

Merit doesn’t move you—money does.

Look at the latest circus act:

🥊 Ryan Garcia — fresh off a lackluster loss to Rolly Romero, 0–1 at welterweight, nothing in the division but selfies and interviews… yet somehow he’s rewarded with an immediate title shot against long-standing champ Mario Barrios.

How?
Simple. Star power = sanctioning power = WBC dollar signs.

Then there’s the walking contradiction:

🥊 Conor Benn — magically ranked #1 mandatory at welterweight, despite not fighting at 147 since 2022 against Chris Algieri. His last three fights were at 154 and 160.
But the WBC didn’t blink. Didn’t flinch. Didn’t care.

Because Conor brings attention.
Attention brings money.
And money brings “flexibility” in the rankings.

The WBC isn’t protecting champions.
They’re not honoring contenders.

WBC #belttotrash Reason 3

If there’s a Mount Rushmore of #WBC disrespect, the Juneteenth Belt is carved right in the center.

Juneteenth is about freedom, survival, and the end of America’s most brutal era. It’s not a costume. It’s not a gimmick. And it DAMN sure ain’t a prop for the WBC to hustle clout.

But in classic WBC fashion—tone-deaf, sloppy, and out of touch—they rolled out a Juneteenth “Freedom Belt” that looked like it was designed by somebody who Googled “Black struggle” and hit copy-paste.

They handed it to Jermall Charlo after beating Montiel in Houston and expected applause.

Instead, they got backlash, and rightfully so.

This belt featured:
• Broken chains straight off a history textbook cover
• A ape fist courtesy of ClipArt from 1998
• A white-and-Black handshake that looked more like a corporate diversity poster
• And yes, 12 nova stars—nice touch—but still wrapped in a design that felt like exploitation wearing a smile

The whole thing was tacky, cheap, and felt like the WBC trying to profit off a culture they’ve never protected, never respected, and barely understand.

The community called it out, so the WBC “redesigned” it with more input. But here’s the truth:

A redesign can’t fix intent that was never real in the first place.

It’s STILL a pointless novelty belt.
It’s STILL sitting on the WBC clearance rack.

The #franchise belt wasn’t created for boxing…
It was created for boxers the #WBC wanted to protect.
A special #VIP pass for the chosen few — the “don’t make them fight mandatories” belt.

Introduced in 2019, the so-called Franchise Champion status gave certain “preferred stars” the privilege to:
• Dodge their mandatory challengers
• Chase hand-picked fights
• Disrupt the entire world title structure

What did this create?
A 2nd-tier world title, confusion for fans, and a power loophole for promoters.

And the franchise foolishness started with two names:

Canelo Alvarez & Vasyl Lomachenko.

WBC #belttotrash Reason 5

In August 2021, the boxing world watched the #WBC expose itself again—this time on the jr lightweight stage.

WBC #champion Oscar Valdez was set to defend his belt against undefeated Brazilian mandatory Robson Conceição.
But days before the fight, Valdez FAILED his drug test.
Phentermine—a banned stimulant commonly used in weight-loss drugs—was found in his system.

Under any legitimate sanctioning body?
That’s an automatic strip. No debate. No loopholes. No “oops, my bad.”

But the WBC is built different…
Different as in corrupt.

Instead of enforcing their own rules, the WBC—hand-in-hand with the Pascua Yaqui Tribal Commission—allowed Valdez to keep the belt AND continue with the fight. Their excuse?

“It was the herbal tea.”

WBC #belttotrash Reason 6

The World Boxing Council has turned boxing’s most sacred symbol into a thrift-store clearance rack.

The WBC doesn’t just have “too many belts”—
they’ve weaponized belt inflation.
In a single division, they can parade FOUR so-called “champions”:
World. Interim. Silver. International.
Four titles, one crown… and zero clarity.

“If everybody’s a champion, then nobody is.”

But the chaos doesn’t stop there.
The WBC built an entire carnival booth of novelty belts—designer gimmicks meant to distract fans while diluting a once-iconic design. They claim it’s “culture”… but it’s really commerce dressed in tradition’s clothing.
