Andre Ward, a former two-division world champion, criticized the inclusion Francis Ngannou in the top ten of the WBC heavyweight rankings.\

ā€œYou have guys who are struggling to get intoĀ that top 10. And Iā€™ll say it like it is: this is politics. This is what happens to theĀ sanctioning organizations. Mauricio Suleiman starts to get angry when I talk about this, he starts writing to me, but he needs to make sure that he is doing the right thing for the company. You can't rank a guy based on his name or what's going on behind the scenes. Ngannou performed well, butĀ it was an isolated incident. He must make himself known. The WBC does whatever it wants."
