By Dan Ambrose: World Boxing Council president Jose Sulaiman is stating that the WBC doesn’t allow immediate rematches between their fighters unless there’s a huge demand from the boxing public. Sulaiman doesn’t want former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to fight Sergio Martinez in early 2012 without the two fighters first facing someone else in between.
Sulaiman said this about a Chavez Jr-Martinez rematch as quoted by Fightnews.com “The WBC is not in favor of immediate rematches, unless there is overwhelming public demand due to some unusual circumstances in the first fight. The fight was one-sided…There was no unusual circumstances to necessitate an immediate rematch.”
