Boxers who are the undisputed champions of their weight-class try to get the ibf title?
Joe Calzaghe is wbc,wbo, wba and The Ring champion in super middleweight but never went to challenge lucian bute for the ibf super middleweigh title.
can someone please explain?
They took the IBF belt off him, because he wanted to fight Peter Manfredo Jr. The IBF didn't believe this was legitamate competition.
Don't think Joe cares, because he's had all the belts at one time or another, so he's recognised as #1.
i guess but wouldnt he have took the title before his fight with lacy or eubank?
He won the belt off Lacy, then after the Bika fight threw it in the bin.
