Comments Thread For: WBC Confirms Amir Imam in Line For Viktor Postol Shot

[Scipio2009]

so postol doesn't get to make a voluntary defense first? how come?

Because he was fighting for a vacant belt, a title that hadn't been defended in a while.

Can you guys not read? Wilder didn't win a vacant title


The WBC did not specify when exactly that fight will be ordered or if Postol will be allowed to have voluntary defense beforehand. Per the WBC's own rules, usually when a fighter wins a vacant world title they then have to make two mandatory defenses - as was the case with Bermane Stiverne who was ordered to face Deontay Wilder and Bryant Jennings back to back.

Stiverne never fought Jennings.

Postol - Imam???

Count me in.

That would be an awesome fight; and luckily for us, as Postol is no Wilder, very capable of being made.

[HanzGruber]

Stiverne never fought Jennings.

No shlt cause he lost to wilder lol

[John Locke]

My boy Imam gonna strip that title straight off Postol. These two are the top 2 at 140 imo.

Wilder didn't win a vacant so this situation doesn't apply

Imam stops postol within 8 to 9
