    WBA 'regular' heavyweight saga continues: Pulev - Hunter off

    According to FN, Pulev has been granted a 'voluntary' defence of his secondary trinket. This no doubt nullifies the WBA's previous 'resolution' requiring the Pulev - Hunter winner to consolidate with Wardley. Three heavyweight champions - awesome.

    The Promotional companies are the engine, but the Sanctioning Bodies, so called, need to be jettisoned.

    The term "World Champion" has an implication. >1=0.

    In fairness, there's never been a point when Boxing was ran properly.

    At least at Heavyweight, the sanctioning body belts have never meant much. It's champion has always been determined by linial succession.

      I mostly agree. I mean, who talks about John Ruiz' 'reign' as WBA belt holder now? That claim has no validity when someone like Lennox Lewis is active. Nor did the various WBOgus claimants during Lewis' time.

        If Parker can't get Usyk (I hope he does) he should take Pulev's trinket from him instead. I'd rather Parker inherit two belts than have Pulev inherit the full WBA title.

            Isn't it great how Usyk is the "undisputed" heavyweight champion and yet Pulev, Wardley, Parker, and Kabayel are all walking around with belts that say "world heavyweight champion" on them?

            Usyk has six belts and the TBRB and lineal championships but there's still four more dudes with heavyweight title belts. It's freaking insane.

              One of the most ****** rules the belt organisations have is not ranking each others champions or even 'interim' champions.

              They need to get rid of the regular. Just make Wardley Pulev fight for the interim
