WBC Ratings Top 15 Session
The World Boxing Council worked its way steadily through its monthly Ratings Session, and this one had the special setting of the Uzbekistan Convention in the Hilton Hotel Tashkent.
45 days of preparation had gone into this, plus two more at the Convention, and a few important amendments were made.
