Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are set to rematch on December 21.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has proposed a major rule change in the hope of avoiding controversial decisions.

He wants the number of judges to be doubled from the current number of three to six scoring judges at ringside.

Speaking to Casino Reviews he said: “I will campaign for the WBC fights to those who are eligible, and we are going to start doing it. it came down to the other organisations and the promoters not supporting the idea so we will do it as usual in the WBC fights.

“We have done a few in Mexico and will continue doing so in WBC fights and we will monitor it and see how things go. It was a very close fight. It came down to the 11th round and it was scored in favour of Oleksandr Usyk by two judges, one of them in Mike Fitzgerald and Mike Metcalfe scored it in favour of Tyson Fury.

“So, if Metcalfe scored it for Usyk rather than Fury it would’ve been a unanimous decision for Usyk. If Fitzgerald had scored it to Fury then he would’ve won the fight so the rounds were very close, that one in particular. A huge left hand at the end of the round by Usyk was a statement.

“Scoring is subject, it’s a complicated task but I believe a split decision win for Usyk is more than fair and acceptable. Our position is to always have the best possibilities to avoid a controversy and that’s why we wanted six judges.”

It’s not the first time that he has proposed the change but Fury’s American promoter Bob Arum had shut it down.

Speaking to Boxing Scene in April he said: “Bob Arum quickly shut down the idea. “You don’t put in something like that for the first time dealing with a major fight from the standpoint of visibility and importance.”

“Maybe six judges are better than three. I doubt that, but maybe. Nobody knows because it hasn’t been done.”

Would six judges be better for the big fights? Let us know in the comments.
