If Conor McGregor plans to fight for a world boxing title someday, the WBC could make it happen. According to WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, all “The Notorious” needs to do is to defeat a ranked fighter.
“I would say, he needs to face and defeat a ranked fighter, then he would be eligible to be ranked and to compete for a title,” Sulaiman told SunSport.
Sulaiman went on to give examples of fighters from other disciplines who eventually captured WBC gold.
“We have plenty of examples of Muay Thai fighters, who turned professional in international boxing, and they are eligible to fight for the title,” he said.
