The new “Doorstep” reality of Boxing

Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic that has plagued the world, boxing will have to change in many aspects and for an indefinite time.

Boxing cards will have to be held behind closed doors, which will lead to reduced purses. There will have to be a reduction in commissioners and rigorous health protocols.

The smallest promoters and fighters in four and six rounds will be the most affected, the WBC is already working on a program to help these fighters with a fund promoted by giant  promoters.

Even though at this time the WBC does not have any world championship bouts on the doorstep, the idea of promoting distance judging is maintained. This is  to reduce expenses for promoters, in addition to continuing to support promoters in their needs.
