STATUS OF THE WBC HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION
During the WBC 55th Annual Convention in Baku, Azerbaijan, in October of 2017, the WBC Board of Governors voted to accept a final elimination bout in the Heavyweight Division between Dominic Breazeale and Eric Molina.
Dominic ‘Trouble’ Breazeale (20-1, 18 KOs) is in a great position to get a big money fight against either WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder or Dillian Whyte in his next match.
The WBC Board of Governors has voted unanimously to order an interim title in the heavyweight division under the WBC rules and regulations guidelines and protocols.
Dillian Whyte has moved on from the “dead” Anthony Joshua fight. Speaking live tonight on Sky Sports alongside promoter Eddie Hearn, Whyte stated that he is moving his career forward now that he will not be challenging Joshua in April as he had hoped, and that he will next fight one of the three big names Hearn is trying to line up for an April 20th show at The O2 in London.
WBC Interim Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo (28-0, 21 KOs) won a hard-fought unanimous decision over Matt Korobov (28-2, 13 KOs) to defend his title in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday night from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.
Jermall Charlo 159.6 vs. Matt Korobov 159.25
Jermell Charlo 153.5 vs Tony Harrison 153.25
Dominic Breazeale 256.5 vs Carlos Negron 226.

LOS ANGELES – FOX Sports and Premier Boxing Champions today announce exciting preview programming leading up to the FOX PBC FIGHT NIGHT on Saturday, Dec.
Dominic Breazeale has not seen action here in 2018 yet, but this will change on December 22 in New York, as the once-beaten heavyweight contender will face Carlos Negron in what is generally being looked at as a stay-busy fight for the 33 year old.
There’s nothing wrong with any fighter thinking big, but most fans will likely feel once-beaten heavyweight contender Dominic Breazeale is setting his heights a little too high – or maybe not.
