"The IBO doesn't do interim titles."

That's the most sensible thing I've heard from a sanctioning body...

Zab judah should step up. 4wks is enough time to get ready for a good fight.

What a surprise, a sorry ass British fighter attempts to line up a pathetic undeserving opponent for a title bout.

Frank Warren and the WBO will probably sanction it for an interim title instead.

Thank you, IBO.

This made me laugh. An interim IBO belt. Can it get any worse?

Won't be long until we have the Coca Cola belt and the Kellogs Corn Flakes Middleweight Champion of the World
