After watching Joe take the WBA and WBC title i noticed that in the promo photos hes wearing the IBF belt i thought he had dropped it after the lacey fight, why has he got it on in the promo photos ?

Anyone got any idea

I haven't seen those shots?

In the promo shots I have seen he is carrying the WBO belt and Ring Magazine belt I think?

Yeah I pointed this out a couple of months ago, I think it's basically down to that Calzaghe vacated the title, they decided to recognise that he was the IBF champ and still could have been so they added it to the picture to make the unification prospect even more enticing.

lol just more crazy ideas from the world of boxing , letting him wear it for the photo shoot then giving it to someone else all seems a little pointless unless they would fully reinstate him as the ibf champ

its like floyd parading all hes wbc belts after fights. at the end of the day u keep the belt when u win so why not let ppl recognise u are the true champ of that belt and ****** politics is the reason u are no longer the champ
