The investigation surrounding Hugo Ramirez becomes one of the biggest stories in professional boxing. And as public scrutiny intensifies, pressure also mounts on the WBO to prove the organization remains larger than any single promoter.
Determined to restore confidence and distance itself from the growing scandal, the sanctioning body wastes little time taking action. Its priority is clear: stabilize the championship picture before the controversy further damages the credibility of the organization.
Now, five days after Ramirez got arrested, Jorge Rivera arrives at Miguel Cabello's residence on one quiet morning, an envelope in his hand.
It takes a while before the front door finally opens. Cabello stands there looking like he hasn't slept properly. His hair is a mess, his eyes bloodshot, and the stale smell of alcohol escapes the room behind him.
"What?" he asks curtly.
Rivera raises the envelope. "I just got this from the WBO."
