The WBC is doing all that is possible to eliminate interim titles due to the disorder and little seriousness that those titles themselves lead to.

So what do you think?

The Silver Belt replaces the title "Interim" - so except for the title nothing changed.

CHAMPION: VACANT
CHAMPION in recess: TIMOTHY BRADLEY (US)
WON TITLE:
LAST DEFENCE:
LAST COMPULSORY: August 1, 2009 by Alexander
WBA CHAMPION: Amir Khan (GB)
IBF CHAMPION: Amir Khan (GB)
WBO CHAMPION: Timothy Bradley (US)
Contenders:
WBC SILVER CHAMPION: Roberto Ortiz (Mexico)
WBC INT. CHAMPION: Prawet Singwangcha†(Thailand)
1- Ajose Olusegun (Nigeria)
2- Erik Morales (Mexico)
3- Humberto Soto (Mexico)
4- Kendall Holt (US)
5- Lucas Matthysse (Argentina)
6- Ali Chebah (France)
7- Josesito Lopez (US) NABF
8- Danny Garcia (US)
9- Prawet Singwangcha (Thai) INTL
10- Roberto Ortiz (Mexico) SILVER

The WBC is bypassing their "Silver Belt" champion(Roberto Ortiz) and will name the winner of the Erik Morales (#2)- Lucas Matthysse (#5) fight as their "Regular Champion." They also bypassed their own #1 rated fighter Ajose Olusegun from fighting for their dubious belt.

Seems in this country, Bermane Stiverne, who recently won a WBC Silver belt, is being referred to as the North American heavyweight champion. Sort of like the American League champion or Western Canadian champ.

I dit. Good and solid fight with a well deserved winner imho. But even the German commentator calling Povetkins new WBA World Heavyweight Title a second rated belt
and clearly illustrated to the TV viewers that Wladimir Klitschko is the real champion.

I'll bet some Euro promoter is planning to match Povetkin and Helenius even as we speak. There are some interesting matches to be made in the heavyweight division, problem seems to be getting the fighters in the ring.
