In response to the recent revelation by the AIBA that they will sign and integrate the best amateurs into their league, the World Boxing Council announced that they are not willing to let the current form of the amateur sport die.

Yesterday during the last session of the 52nd WBC Convention, President Mauricio Sulaiman presented a tournament that will promote amateur boxing. Although the specifics of how the tournament will be handled wasn't unveiled, the WBC will look to make it global in 2015 .

"The Olympics is for the athletes who want to compete for their countries against other countries to win medals for glory. That is what amateur sports are about and that now no longer exists because of the AIBA. They sign a few boxers to compete and have a professional contract. What we will do is create a platform for those who remain outside of the AIBA, so that they can remain active and be protected," said WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman.

The WBC also announced that they want to rekindle the tradition of giving their champions rings. Just before yesterday's closing ceremony, the WBC presented the design of these awards and revealed that current champions and future champions will receive a ring.

"This will be a tradition. We want the fighters to have a piece of their achievements with them at all times and this recognition will come in the form of a ​​ring" said Sulaiman, who revealed that the same company that makes rings for Superbowl champions in the NFL and World Series champions in Major League Baseball will make the WBC championship rings.
