Comments Thread For: Hekkie Budler's Next Defense Pushed Back To March 1

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Johannesburg – The late postponement of Golden Gloves' boxing bill at Emperors Palace from February 15 to March 1 will not affect tournament headliner Hekkie Budler, his trainer Colin Nathan said on Monday.

“Hekkie is ready to fight tomorrow, next week or next month,” Nathan said.

“He's always in tip-top shape and fighting two week's later will not make an iota of difference to his condition.”

Nathan said a delay in completing the maintenance at the Emperors Palace venue where strawweight champion Budler comes up against Colombian opponent Karluiz Diaz had been responsible for the postponement.

Sorry, but there's just too many titles to stir any interest! This chaps never even fought for the Commonwealth title, but claims to be a World champion?

Hekkie's had the IBO title for a minute now.

He got elevated cuz he beat Hugo Verchelli in a high paced action fight for the interim WBA belt.

The is not the first time the WBA has elevated an interim to regular. They did it recently for Maidana at 140.

No rules say you have to fight for the BBB of C, or Commonwealth belt before you fight for a piece of the world title. **** the BBB of C title, and the Commonwealth title, throw um both in the trash who the **** needs um.
