The PBA has announced the 16 seeds for the upcoming WBC Title tournament. As expected the three winners from Italy, France and Germany fill the top three positions with Julian Jackson the #1 seed. None of the seeds can draw each other before the "Sweet 16" but they can draw anyone else at any time, meaning they'll all be hoping to avoid the likes of the unseeded but very dangerous Freddie Little and Thomas Tate.

Overall, 48 fighters had at least one win in their initial minor tournament and therefore gain entry to the WBC tournament. Added to these, the President of the PBA (yours truly!) has also granted wildcards to eight more fighters, based on their performances in the minor tournaments. Charles Kemmic for instance dropped a unanimous decision to Jackson but given The Hawk's subsequent results that now looks pretty good.

That brings the field up to 56 and to round out the final eight places there will be a qualifying round. 16 fighters will be randomly selected to fight and the eight winners will progress into the first round of the WBC tournament. From there we'll whittle it down to one man, the inaugural WBC champion.
