Paco Valcárcel, president of the WBO, reacted to the news that the WBA has decided to introduce a new weight division - bridgerweight. This one was previously done by the WBC.
“Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. 17 weight categories in boxing are more than enough. Change is not always good, and in many cases, in trying to improve, we harm the image of boxing,” the functionary said.
Let us remind you that the weight limit in this category is 90.72 kg - 101.60 kg.
