Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), led by Jake Paul, has placed its entire support behind another fighter who is standing up to the World Boxing Council's ban on three-minute rounds in women's competitions.
WBC super lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron is the most recent to give up her green and gold strap. She declared she had given up her title in protest of the organization's ongoing two-minute limit.
Chantelle Cameron Leaves the WBC Championship
The action is consistent with Cameron's long-held belief that women should be able to participate under the same rules as men, including full-length rounds, according to the former uncontested world champion.
Cameron stated that although women's boxing has made significant strides, more work has to be done. "I have always supported equality, which includes the right to fight in equal rounds, equal respect, and equal opportunity. Although I am pleased with my achievement as a WBC champion, it is time to stand up for the sport's future and for what is right.
Nakisa Bidarian, Paul's MVP co-founder, commended Cameron's leadership and integrity, saying the company "stands firmly behind" her choice.
Bidarian asserted, "Chantelle has never backpedaled from a challenge, inside or outside the ring." This choice demonstrates her leadership and character as one of the best fighters in the sport. MVP fully supports Chantelle's efforts to advance women's boxing toward full equality.
Protest Pattern
Cameron joins MVP stablemates Alycia Baumgardner and Amanda Serrano, who both gave up their WBC belts in a similar demonstration. Paul's fighters' collective protest represents a unique united front by world-class fighters against one of boxing's four main sanctioning organizations.
Before Serrano, the first to take the initiative, joined Paul's company, this incident had never happened, according to WBN. Just five weeks ago, MVP released a jubilant statement expressing their happiness at the WBC awarding Cameron the unclaimed title.
The Safety Defense of WBC
Citing medical research and custom, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman has always supported the policy as a safety precaution.
"We firmly committed ourselves to safety. We agreed with everything we looked at," Sulaiman said in 2023 to Sky Sports. "Anyone who wishes to take chances cannot be a part of the WBC organization."
He added that the shorter rounds lower the chance of exhaustion and dehydration while adding "big action and fantastic emotions."
"You run the risk of becoming dehydrated if you struggle for longer. Additionally, you get weary, which is really risky. For safety and protection, we particularly adore the two-minute rounds. It is an amazing show.
Momentum for Change Is Growing
Despite increasing requests from fighters who wished to contest for more than 180 seconds, the WBC initially denied a petition to prolong rounds to three minutes in 2017.
The pressure is now increased by Cameron's position, which is supported by Paul and MVP. Both fans and industry leaders have taken notice of the movement; some have called the WBC's position antiquated in the current era of women's boxing.
Sulaiman's position is scientific; nevertheless, considering that the WBC has made the greatest investment in testing the risks that extended rounds of combat bring to women.
The WBC is faced with an awkward decision as the MVP's roster of well-known champions keeps pushing for equality: How many more titles will the organization lose before the rules change, or will they continue to be firm and rebellious and insist that two minutes must be the standard?
If three minutes are finally adopted as the norm for all female divisions by the other three governing bodies, the pressure might become intolerable.

According to reports, Raymond Muratalla and Andy Cruz have a confirmed date and venue for their title fight.
The former two-time Olympic gold medallist Cruz will defend against IBF lightweight champion Muratalla on January 24 at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas.
The news was initially reported by BoxingScene.com.
Top Rank, Muratalla's handler, placed the sole other bid, but Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing, Cruz's promoter, outbid them for the right to hold the fight. Top Rank bid $550,000, Matchroom bid $888,888.
Muratalla will get 65% of the winning price, or $577,777.20. Cruz is going to receive $311,110.80.
The 28-year-old Muratalla (23-0, 17 KOs) will be defending his 135-pound title for the first time. On May 10, he defeated Zaur Abdullaev to win the interim edition of that title. Since Vasiliy Lomachenko abruptly retired, he has been promoted to full champion.
Cruz (6-0, 3 KOs) became the mandatory challenger for that title after thrashing Hironori Mishiro in Madison Square Garden in New York on June 14 and stopping him in the fifth round.
“I’M GOOD SOLO” KEVIN DURANT EXPLAINS WHY HE’LL NEVER MARRY
NBA star Kevin Durant admits he doesn't expect to ever get married, citing low odds and doubting he could be with one person forever. The Houston Rockets forward called off his own engagement back in 2014.

After questioning if he could spend the rest of his life with one spouse, NBA veteran Kevin Durant says he does not anticipate ever getting married.
When Durant, 37, proposed to his then-girlfriend in 2013, he called it quits a year later because he "did not know how to love her the right way." Durant was previously engaged to former WNBA player Monica Wright.
Despite being romantically involved with other high-profile women before his breakup with Wright, such as actress Apryl Jones and women's basketball player Liz Cambage, the Houston Rockets forward is still unmarried more than ten years later.
Additionally, Durant stated in an interview with influencer Bobbi Althoff that he "does not know" if he could stay married to just one person indefinitely.
"I believe divorce is more realistic because the divorce rate is greater," he remarked.
"That is not good odds to me," Durant said in response to Althoff's assertion that the likelihood of a divorce is always 50/50. But you are betting on that being 50/50, and that is betting on forever? I am not sure if I want to risk it.
After calling off an engagement, Kevin Durant acknowledges that he does not anticipate getting married in eleven years.
According to the NBA veteran, he does not believe he could spend the rest of his life with just one spouse.
He went on to say, "It is like the word marriage... like what the bond is." For example, do I want to hang out with the same person every day and be with this person every day?
"I had never actually imagined my wedding day." I think, "Oh, this is cool, oh, it is dope," whenever I attend a wedding. It is not as if I have to imagine it. Still, it is a cool occasion.
Durant emphasised that he is not currently looking for a committed relationship, even if he acknowledged that he once believed he was close to marriage.
That being said, he is not entirely ruling out future wedding bells.
According to the two-time NBA champion, "I am sure that it may happen." "All I am saying is that I am not anticipating it, but I am not closing the door on anything."
Durant responded, "Just somebody I can hang out with daily, somebody I can talk to that is cool, you know the basics, somebody I can genuinely be friends with," when asked what qualities he would look for in a partner. and not consider it to be a girlfriend-boyfriend situation.
Instead of us simply being friends by nature, there is a cloud associated with that label and expectation. I prefer to have no expectations because I might not always want to meet or speak with you.
