I think chisora won the vacant WBA international title against pala a few weeks ago. I'm sure he knew he was stripped awhile back. At least you would think he knew but then again it's the WBA & he won it on shady fashion...

The 10th rd. of Sonny's fight against White Buffalo was one of the most cowardly moments I've seen in boxing. He got a gift decision against a fat old man.

Yes. The fightly suddenly changed from a 12-rounder to a 10. Disgraceful.

Doesnt the WBC have an "international" "Championship" ?? Based on the way they handle Vitali, for a fee this guy could hold on to that title for a decade without fighting anyone much less a top contender.
