According to WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, they initially felt it was necessary to give the belt to one event - but there was a draw in their voting process - so now two events will have the Mayan belt involved.
WBC has also come out with silver, diamond and emeritus belts, which are not defined, even though Sulaiman praises them. "These belts are tremendous works of art which has Mexico's heart in it. And whoever wins them will take them home and cherish them for the rest of their lives. It is a piece of history for eternity. The governors' choice was a draw, but no instant replay was needed in this one. And we feel it's only fair to award two different belts to two different cards," Sulaiman told BoxingScene.
