Mauricio Sulaiman, president of the World Boxing Council (WBC), responded to Terence Crawford's statements after being stripped of his belt and assured that he doesn't care what he said.

In statements to the press At the 63rd Annual WBC Convention, Sulaiman expressed his deep regret over Crawford's actions, stating that they forced the organization to make a decision it didn't want. He made it clear that he would not engage in any argument with the American. “I didn't see it, but I've heard about it and been told it's very aggressive, very low-class. I'm sorry about that, but I don't care. I have 1,000 congratulatory messages for a great convention, a thousand messages of unity, happiness, and support for the World Boxing Council to continue doing what it does. I'm not going to dwell on a single negative message and poison my mind and heart,” he said. “His actions hurt me deeply because they forced the World Boxing Council to make a decision we didn't want to make. The worst decision possible is to strip a champion of their title, but I'm not going to have any discussion with Terence.” Today, I really liked what WBC Cares did. We had a Crawford figure here at the convention, and we signed it as a message of affection and good wishes for him, because he's a boxer, and we exist for boxers,” he concluded. In an Instagram Live, Terence Crawford commented that Sulaiman is upset because he beat Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. “The WBA, the WBO, and the IBF accepted what I gave them… but you didn't. You, the WBC, think you're better than everyone, don't you? So you, the WBC, and your damn green belt that means nothing. The real belt is the one from The Ring, and that one's free.” You can keep your damn belt.”

Recall that during the 63rd Annual WBC Convention in Bangkok, Thailand, Mauricio Sulaiman explained that the WBC proposed reducing his fees from 3% to 0.6% after his victory over the Mexican, but despite efforts to resolve the issue, they received no response from the American. For this reason, he was stripped of his title.

That adjustment was valued at $300,000, of which $225,000 was to be allocated to the Jose Sulaiman Fund, which is dedicated to helping boxers in need.

In his last appearance in the ring, Terence Crawford defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision. With this result, the American fighter dethroned the Mexican in the super middleweight division and made history by becoming an undisputed champion in a different weight class for the third time.

Terence Crawford, 37, became an undisputed champion in three different weight divisions by defeating the Mexican and made boxing history. The American fighter remains undefeated and now has 42 wins, 31 of them by knockout.
