Mauricio Sulaimán, the President of WBC, rewarded ex-boxer Volodymyr Klitschko, with a world champion belt at the WBC Congress which started today in Kyiv.
Volodymyr Klitschko managed to win all the champion titles within his career , except the one from WBC. His older brother Vitaliy had this belt. And when Vitaliy finished his career, Deontay Wilder got the belt and he still has it.
