Been a while since the super champ fought or the super/regular even fought.

I assume this is coming out of nowhere because Sturm is fighting the interim champ Chudinov in May and they want it to be for a full title

Wow, I don't remember the last time Pablo forced a super champ to fight one of his regular champs. Andre's going on 2 years w/o defending his belt, he oughta be stripped.

That said, Hearn could win a purse bid for less than $4mill and Ward would balk and drop the belt.

I don't remember the last time one was ordered and it went through.

Bob said Stahp, they said kk

It's about time! Froch has been a WBA belt holder since May 2012.

WBA need to order more Regular v Super champ mandatories. Rigo v Quigg next please!
