		The WBC (World Boxing Council) refused for years to let their world champions take part in unification bouts with WBO title holders, with the exception of the unification bout between Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank in 1993 after Don King had stepped in to arrange it.

	Boxing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boxing, nicknamed the "sport of kings" and also called pugilism or prizefighting (when referring to professional boxing), is a sport where two participants of similar weight attack each other with their fists in a series of one to three-minute intervals called "rounds".
		Earliest evidence suggests that boxing was prevalent in North Africa during 4000 BC and the Mediterranean in 1500 BC.
		The World Boxing Association even stripped a fighter of his championship in 1983 because the fight had been a 15-round bout, shortly after the rule was changed to 12 rounds.

	Ruiz left wondering if King's really in his corner - The Boston Globe
		It was about an hour after Ruiz had been dethroned as World Boxing Association heavyweight champion by a nondescript Russian emigre named Nikolai Valuev, a bear of a man with minimal talent but the good fortune of fighting in Germany for a powerful German promoter, Wilfried Sauerland.
		There also was talk of a showdown between Valuev and former World Boxing Organization champion Wladimir Klitschko, who made his name fighting in Germany and remains a huge sporting celebrity there but who never has wanted anything to do with Ruiz.
		Never did it want Ruiz involved, but with the 7-foot, 323-pound Valuev now wearing the WBA belt, it would be far more likely to financially support a three-fight, two-night tourney matching the four champions first, followed by a unification title fight, with perhaps someone like Klitschko, long a favorite of the network, in the mix.

		King's pitch was that Brewster was coming off a lackluster performance against an unknown named Kali Meehan in which he barely escaped with a split decision and was now the underdog against Golota, who had lost two straight title challenges himself.
		While World Boxing Association champion John Ruiz, International Boxing Federation titleholder Chris Byrd, and World Boxing Council belt-wearer Vitali Klitschko have been unimpressive when given their chances in front of national television's bright lights, Brewster shined.
		His nose began to bleed quickly and was a river of red by the end, yet he hammered out a well-deserved decision and inflicted more damage than he received.
