2. Compulsory breast protection of choice. Sports bras cannot extend above the line of the armpit upwards, and no lower than the zxiphoid (check spelling) process downward. It cannot cover the lower rib area
3. WBC champions who loose in an equivalent or lower weight category also loose their WBC Title.
4. We are shortening the time a champion has to fight her mandatory to one year.
5. A WBC Champion can not fight for another title without WBC permission, and never before she has conducted a 120 day defense of her title.
