The WBA management today officially announced the reduction of the number of champion belts. Holders of "interim" and "golden" titles, allegedly, must immediately lose their titles.
According to the ruling of the World Boxing Association, current interim champions will either become mandatory contenders for "regular" titles or will be designated for elimination bouts.
The former "gold" champions will occupy high challenger positions in the rankings. Prior to this, they stood above all challengers.
