Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will fight for the Mexican boxing baton with pride, in a fight in which they both risk a lot, says World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman in an interview with Notimex.

"They are fighting  not only for the triumph, they are fighting for the representation of being the one who leads the Mexican boxing. They are fighting for the pride, because after the fight each one will be accountable," Sulaiman said.

Mauricio, who`s indicated the possibility of placing a special WBC belt on the line for this, applauded that both decided to sign for the card of May 6.

"It`s a fact that we have to celebrate and support this event one hundred percent.  Boxing needs an important card like this. Each one of them is going to sacrifice...one with weight loss and another goes up in weight.

"Canelo has had more activity, greater successes. Yet, Chavez has returned in great style last December and shows that he is definitely back. The two risk everything for the ultimate Prize. "

He reiterated that the WBC fully supports the accomplishment of this historic fight.

Juan "Churritos" Hernández aims smack bang for March 4 in Thailand straight as an arrow seeking the World Boxing Council flyweight crown, when he faces number one ranked Nawaphon Sor Rungvisai for the World Boxing Council flyweight title, left vacant Roman "Chocolatito "González.

Hernandez, second in the ranks of the prestigious green and gold, and official challenger to the 112-pound crown, will audaciously face undefeated Thai right on his own home turf, in the Far East.

The battle between these warriors will take place at the National Stadium in Bangkok, an imposing building where Efrén "Alacrán" Torres held a memorable fight against Chartchai Chionoy in 1970 and has been the epicenter of excellence for the great fights that take place in Thailand.
