PURPOSE

To give the SUPER CHAMPIONS a period of time long enough that allows them to comply the mandatory defenses of the other organizations. Currently the WBA World Championships Rules and Regulations establishes for the Heavyweight division a period of 12 months, counted from the date he won the title, to make their mandatory defenses, the other divisions establish a period of 9 months.
To allow the SUPER CHAMPIONS to make optional fights avoiding conflicts with the fulfillment of the WBA World Championships Rules and Regulations or avoid conflicts with the rights of the leading available contenders of the division. For example: Roy Jones Jr., World Champion of the four leading boxing organizations has made only one mandatory defense in the WBA in 34 months, since he won the title (07/18/1998) to Lou del Valle.
To give the WBA World Champions the opportunity to make some voluntary defenses of their title –benefiting the activity and the rated contenders of the division-, before they comply with their mandatory fights, which will be a requirement to use their right to fight for the SUPER CHAMPIONSHIP.
All the leading boxing organizations that rule the sport as the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO, pursue the Undisputed World Champion through the promotion of the Unification of titles.
