Ward to fight Kashtanov next.

[BattlingNelson]

Or be stripped. Stanylav Kashtonov is mando and the WBA interim champion. Froch is their unified champ and Ward their superchamp.

I cannot remember when Ward last fought his mando, but it is long overdue.

This fight will probably sell 1k tickets in jOakland where Ward has the most pull.

Kashtanov's best result, is a split decision loss to Karoly Balszay.

[SnakeVen0m]

Sure, keep busy fight for the P4P#2 fighter baby.

If you go to the WBAs website and search for Karoly Balzsay it still lists him as Regular champion and there is no notification of him being stripped on there. Maybe he just isn't listed on their champions page because they are embarrassed.

Even the WBA are becoming embarrassed by their championship policy.

It will be interesting to see whether HBO will hand out another megacheck or maybe they learned from all the RJJ mandatory fiascos.

2 poor fights back to back and 3 meaningless fights back to back.

How longs it going to be before Ward has a legitimate fight?

[ShamrockXpress]

I no if your search their rankings it doesn't list him as regular champion, but it still lists him elsewhere and he still lists himself as champ.

Kashtanov is the interim champ:

And yes. The WBA championship policy is utter rubbish.

Doubt it goes down....at least I hope it doesn't

[ShamrockXpress]

Forget my last comment he has been stripped
