Comments Thread For: IBF President Explains The Current Status Of Their Heavyweight Belt

[James]

Lmao boxing is being ruined by greed, corruption and bureaucracy...how can you have 4 WORLD champions per division?!? Somebody (Turki?) needs to restructure this sport ASAP and adopt the UFC model of only having one world champion per division and do away with all these meaningless super/regular/interim belts at the same time. In fact, they need to shrink the number of weight classes to be more in line with the olden days (8 instead of 17 nowadays) where being a p4p champion actually MEANT something.

UFC model? Come on. They make title fight based on what Dana wants. Then ypu have Pride, then you have Bellator.etc... Almost the same as in boxing, you have a lot of organisations and every has his own champion.

I don't care. We know who the best in the division is.

[MrShakeAndBake]

Tyson Fury deserves the right to fight for undisputed again in rematch. It is very much unfinished business. Hrgovic needs to revenge his loss 116-111 to Zhang, and Dubois will destroy him anyway.

1. Fury
2. Usyk - Fury won 114-113
3. Wilder - He was past prime for Parker, but is back to prime again, new lease of life.
4. Joshua
5. Moses
6. Parker
7. Zhang
8. Joyce
9. Ortiz
10. Wardley
11. Clarke
12. Whyte
13. Chisora
14. Hughie Fury
15. Tom Little

Nash out

UMMM HARD NO!.
The undisputed has been SEALED in the KO of 9th round.

UFC model as in only having ONE champion per division instead of four. Also, with this approach, the best will be fighting the best more often as everybody will want to fulfil their dream of becoming world champion.

WIN-WIN

Also, it's NOT the same thing as Pride, Bellator, ONE etc can be viewed as Division 2, 3 & 4 respectively whereas the UFC is Division 1 with the vast majority of the worlds top fighter's under it's banner.

Give other guys a chance. Once Fury rematches Usyk, by that time we will know if Dubois or Hrgovic is champ. Let Joshua fight against them and then Fury/Usyk winner fight the winner for all 4. No problem

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I don't think what wins over ZZ and McKean should get for Hrg, I speak about facts that he is mandatory by the rules of IBF. IBF has rules and it has nothing to do is it fair or not. Why Usyk does not fight his mandatory, when you talk about fairness. Then he keeps IBF if he wins and Hrg get's his shot.

And those rules are devoid of any common sense as my original post stated.

These sh**ty ABC orgs consistently undermine the legitimacy of the sport.

We waited 25 years to get back to undisputed. You really think it just happens again so quickly?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Usyk can drop all the belts in the garbage and he will still be N.1. and Fury N.2. Belts don`t mean much when elites fight.

UMMM HARD NO!.

A flash knockdown is not a KO. If anything, the ref should have jumped in and stopped Usyk in Round 6 when he was very hurt and outclassed. Fury by KO 1 in rematch. Nash out

[theface07]

That 'undisputed belt' is a tacky insult & Usyk should have refused to lift or wear it lol.

Aaaand once again, the IBF can devour a male chicken fr.

How is it an insult? Regardless of what you think of the look of the belt, it holds legitimacy given this is the first time one heavyweight has held all 4 world titles to claim undisputed. It signifies a rare and important occurrence. Usyk is the undisputed champion.
I swear people complain about the most trivial things imaginable.
