May 25, 2011 – Mexico City. From WBC President Dr. José Sulaimán: The Federation of Boxing Commissions (FECOMBOX), through its President Carlos Gonzalez Hinojosa, based on the unquestionable unity and reciprocity that there is between all the boxing commissions of the Mexican Republic, notified the President of the Boxing Commission of Tijuana, as well as Licenciado Aldrete and Licenciado Wilhelmy, affiliated to FECOMBOX, and also the WBC, about the fight between Omar Chavez and Genaro Trazancos, scheduled to be held this Saturday, and the health risk that is being run by Trazancos after his long series of losses and knockouts in the final part of his career.

Trazancos also violated the agreement of national boxing on not accepting bouts of Mexican fighters in the State of Arizona, due to the inhuman and discriminatory laws implemented by such State against Mexican and Latin American people. That means he absolutely ignored the humiliations and assassinations suffered by our people.

The WBC supports the information sent to our friends of that Honorable Commission of Tijuana and regrets that some Mexican promoters are resorting to agents of boxers who are mercenaries and “gym pirates” to contract rivals of Mexican fighters without considering that these rivals run a health danger and denigrate the honor and respect they must have to the fans of all the Mexican cities where fights like this one are held.

The WBC has already started a world campaign to eradicate from boxing all of those people that “steal” boxers of very low quality from gyms, without medical exams, without authorizations given by their boxing commissions, “pirates” of boxing who take boxers secretly in exchange for peanuts. It is intended to take care of the health of the boxers even more, and avoid that the fans off the world keep being swindled by these people who hold uneven fights with the only purpose of benefiting their boxers.
