But is that what happened? Not sure the WBC ever confirmed the fight or its status. Certainly don't recall there being any press that Golden Boy had agreed with Queensberry that they would put on the fight. Sounds to me like Golden Boy pulled the PBC Munguia trick of offering a contract on unfair terms knowing that it wouldn't be accepted. Let's see what the WBC do. Warren prefers to go to purse bids most of the time anyway

The fight was ordered. It was negotiated. Both sides came to agreement. The paperwork was sent to Avanesyans people and they didn't return it or give any reason why. Now he's making defence no 6 of his European title. The WBC have dropped Avanesyan from 2 to 4 in their rankings. This came from Rick Mirigian, Ortiz jrs manager. There are no unfair terms. If your not happy with the terms you go to purse bid. That didn't happen.

Hey Benn, Avanesyan is available to fight again! LMFAO

I know him and Eddie was front row when he destroyed Josh Kelly so maybe they're nervous about that matchup but it would be a good fight and a good win IF Benn can pull it off
