Way to go wbo.....this IS the right call

thank you If they keep allowing this bs, the WBA will have 12 champions per weight class strictly for sanctioning fees..

Good job, This puts a damper on PBC though, they are the king's of the WBA" regular" title.

bit ironic since a lot of people dont even recognise the wbo as a major belt

People, media, broadcasters, promoters, fans.... are all irrelevant.
What matters is that WBO is recognized by the other 3 major Orgs. (WBA, WBC and IBF), and vice versa.

Who cares, just make the fight!

The WBO is the only body to take this stance and deserve credit for doing so.

The IBF and WBC both allow unifications with regular WBA titles.

Are you sure about IBF?
Just checked, and they recognize only one WBA champ per division.
