The WBC has ordered middleweight champ, Sergio Martinez to begin immediate negotiations with interim middleweight champ, Sebastian Zbik. If no deal can be reached between both camps by January 7th, the fight will go up to purse bid.
Zbik is the last of the WBC’s interim champions, but the organization has adopted the Silver Title, which carries the same weight and importance as the interim title. The WBC also boasts international titles in each division as well as five Emeritus Champions (Bernard Hopkins, Mikkel Kessler, Floyd Mayweather, Vic Darchinyan, and Edgar Sosa.)
