Comments Thread For: Lebedev Feels No Satisfaction With Getting WBA Title

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev (24-1, 18KOs) is not happy with the manner that he won his championship. Lebedev was the interim-champion up until a few days ago. Guillermo Jones was downgraded to the status of "champion in recess" and Lebedev was elevated to the position of full champion. Lebedev feels no satisfaction and would have rather captured the title by defeating a good fighter. Instead, because Jones continued to withdraw from scheduled fight dates, the sanctioning body had no choice but to hand over the title to Lebedev, who still hopes to return on December 17th in Russia.

The article should read Denis hopes to return on Dec 15 in Moscow. Here's the card so far:

He may have a warm-up on that date, but a big fight between he and Rakhim Chakhkiev is in the works for Febuary or March.

Chakhkiev will fight on the Klitschko-Wach undercard, likely against Argentine Emilio Alejandro Valori.

Lebedev said Chakhkieve has done NOTHING to deserve a fight with him, so I doubt it. He said he wants to fight Huck of the WBC champion from Poland next.

Some people including Chakhkiev seem to believe it's going to happen:

But I see here Lebedev says Chakhkiev needs to earn the right to fight him:

I think it's one that may happen sooner or later. Chakhkiev first needs to find a promoter that will get him a few meaningful fights against ranked contenders.

I wanted to see Lebedev/Jones so color me disappointed.
