🗣️ Via ➡️ 🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Mikaelian VS Benavidez ordered!

The WBC mediated with as much interest and positive intentions without being able to find a final amicable agreement between the parties representing WBC Cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian.

The Cruiserweight division has been extremely complicated for some time, and during the last annual convention it seemed things would have been resolved and a positive path found with the proper rulings, which were:

- WBC granted a voluntary defense to the champion who resulted from the Badou Jack vs. Noel Mikaelian rematch.

- The winner to face two mandatories.

After six months, still no voluntary.

Alberto Leon was appointed by me to deal with both camps to try to resolve all their problems, but as of last night, there has been no positive result and the management of Mikaelian continues to be at odds with their promoter.

At the same time, a great positive story has developed: our Light Heavyweight champion fought a cruiserweight bout and conquered the WBA and WBO belts. Benavidez visited Mexico and has his mind only on winning the WBC Cruiserweight championship.

The WBC has received a letter from his promoter with the petition to mandate WBC Cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian to make his first mandatory defense against WBC Light Heavyweight champion David Benavidez.

The WBC Board has voted in favor to order Cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian to fight mandatorily David Benavidez.
The WBC is extremely proud of this ruling as it will certainly bring the best benefits to both parties after witnessing the mediation process which was not successful.

Sincere regards,

Mauricio Sulaiman
WBC President
