Funny you mentioned Briggs, I watched a clip of an interview from Tijuana Can-man Christopher Lovejoy and he said he’s in negotiations to fight Briggs this year.

Briggs says he's gonna fight everybody but it never happens. He was supposed to fight Rampage Jackson, he was supposed to fight Ricco Rodriguez in BKFC.

I love the guy, he's the fun kind of crazy, but I'll believe he's fighting again when I see him in the ring.

Just do Hunter vs Wardley & stop insulting people.

Why didn't it go to purse bids?

I am not sure if anyone has noticed, but the sanctioning bodies, and concerned promoters don't give a f%%k about that BS league, and have gotten right back to business. This is a statement, make no bones about it. It makes much more sense, financially, or otherwise, to continue upon the traditional path of boxing.

Hopefully the new boxing League from Dana White finishes off these belts. These belts are irrelevant and not needed

An interim belt for the WBA regular championship? Fucking WBA.

They should have forced Pulev and Wardley to go to purse bids.

I do not care. If it happens, I will pay enough attention to see who wins on a few fan sites if I think about it. If it doesn't, I will never think about this article again as soon as I log off here in a bit. Wardley is the only fighter on this list that, in my opinion, still has enough upside to actually be an important figure in this division. This to me is three stay busy fights for a few HW boxers who are not about to get anywhere near an important fight that is being packaged as something big when it is obviously not.

If this joke of a sanctioning body cannot figure out how to make one fight happen with the promoters and fighter, that they think three will come together better is knda comedy.

Cool - more fake champs. Disgraceful.

Why? It's RED HOT as one great generation ends and another begins.

"Based upon the above-mentioned Rules, the WBA has express authority to modify applicable defense periods and otherwise suspend applications of various rules under a special permit"


"Hunter is technically unbeaten in his last 14 starts. That does not include a loss to Artem Suslenkov last May on an IBA-sanctioned card, which is not recognized by official record keepers given the lack of a national governing body overseeing the events"


"Usyk remains the recognized lineal and unified WBA super, IBF, WBO and Ring champion. The 38-year-old southpaw is unaffected by the abovementioned WBA resolution".


Beautiful.

Somebody needs to get ahold of this sport.
