WBC in two minds about Serrano’s stunt
The WBC is likely to withhold sanctioning for the fights. Skye Nicolson, a top contender and interim champion in the WBC, expressed her willingness to fight Amanda Serrano under the rules set by the WBC. If the WBC maintains its stance, it could potentially strip Serrano of her title, a move that would likely face significant criticism. Currently, They have not reached a final decision on this issue.
Serrano’s promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, in response, has strongly criticized the WBC and any future opponent of Serrano who refuses to comply with her preferences. Furthermore, Bidarian emphasized that denying women the opportunity to fight under the proposed rules misrepresents the facts. He argued that Serrano’s case highlights the need for change in women’s boxing, asserting that it’s her time and her way, or no way at all.
