WBC publishes first Bridger weight ratings

The WBC management has published the first ever rating for a new weight category called "Bridger" with an upper limit of 224 pounds.

The leader of the ranking is Oscar Rivas (26-1, 18 KOs), who previously fought for the interim world heavyweight title, in second place there is Riad Merhi (29-1, 24 KOs), the holder of the WBA interim heavyweight title. So it is likely that Rivas and Merhi will clash for the first title in the new weight category.
