On the flip side it’s also honorable from the WBC to acknowledge and have sympathy for its fighters and the obstacles they face outside the ring. The WBC has a great reputation in helping its past champions and fighters in general in need. Yet in keeping its tradition they can’t abandon other fighters in their sanctioning body which their goals and career has been put on hold because of WBC enabling their inactive champion.
