EL PRESIDENTE: Sulaiman never misses the chance for a good selfie
ON Friday, The Week caught up with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman who is back in Mexico City following a recent trip to Uzbekistan for his organisation’s annual convention. There was much to discuss, but in the wake of David Benavidez’s big win over Demetrius Andrade, I asked whether the Mexican Monster (Benavidez, not Sulaiman) would now be officially called as Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’s mandatory, with the Cinco de Mayo slot still unfilled. I’m paraphrasing, but the short answer was ‘no’. Don’t hold your breath for that one. Instead Benavidez has suggested a dance with Jermall Charlo, who just beat up his older brother Jose. I’d watch it.
