A source informed Fightnews.com that WBA executive vice president Gilberto Mendoza Jr. is awaiting confirmation of the date to formally present the WBA belt to Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in Panama City. “We respect the WBC decision in relation to unification fights but these fights are accepted and WBA will continue doing them and accepting them,” said Mendoza Jr.
The WBA the super welterweight “super” world champion is Floyd Mayweather Jr. Alvarez is the WBA “regular” super welterweight world champion.
