Having unified champions complicates things slightly due to the rotation, but it would appear the WBA remain committed to eliminating all 'regular' belts. Thus belatedly ending a historic error which began in 2001 after Hopkins beat Trinidad and the WBA sanctioned Joppy - Eastman for a 'regular' belt.

There are currently secondary champions at Heavyweight (Daniel Dubois), Super Middleweight (David Morrell), Middleweight (Erislandy Lara), Welterweight (Eimantas Stanionis), Lightweight (Gervonta Davis) and Minimumweight (Erick Rosa). In all but the minimumweight class, the true champion is either unified or undisputed, thus making the mandatory title reduction fight able to happen when the WBA has its turn in the mandatory rotation between all the organizations. The title reduction fight between minimumweight super champion Thammanoon Niyomtrong and regular champion Erick Rosa has been ordered and is in negotiations.
