2 Things:

Expect GGG/Geale to be formally announced soon and Chudinov/Fletcher to fight for the regular title later this yea

What the hell??! How can you be a super champ and not have beaten any world class fighter?

[The Big Dunn]

This is BS. Now you don't even have to fight to become a super champion.

[Divine Hammer]

WBA is the most corrupt.

by far they are worse than the WBC.

They make you a super with 5 defenses of the belt... which doesn't explain Shumenov or Guillermo Jones

WBC actually trying to make an about face with the new head

If they did that in order to make GGG vs Geale reality (rather than GGG having to fight Fletcher) than that's great news.

They most likely did.

No idea why they mandated Fletcher when he wasn't even the mandatory and they already had Fletcher lined up for another fight

Interesting, thanks for the reply. Which governing body do you feel has the most credibility? For me it's the IBF.

As of right now, the IBF. They actually make you enforce your mandatory and rankings aren't obviously bought by promoters. I mean... how else could K-9 be the eternal mando for the JMW belt?
