Comments Thread For: WBA Explains Chris Eubank Interim-Title Situation

[Clegg]

Maybe after the dust settles they can do Eubank Jr-Khomitsky, wouldn't be a bad fight, especially considering Khomitsky's UK record. Guessing the cards are stacked against him again tonight travelling across the world to face an unbeaten prospect.

Anyone seen/rate Blanco?

What a load of crap, he pulled out of the Billy Joe Saunders rematch because they asked him to vacate the belt so the winner would be WBO mandatory, instead he turns down the fight and will now vacate straight after fighting an old man.

He pulled out of the BJS rematch to avoid another L. Eubank is rumored to maybe fight Gary O'Sullivan in December, they'll make it for the WBA interim mandatory!

An acting interim-champion, whatever next? Suppose he gets injured, will we then have to have an acting acting interim-champion! As Groucho said "Get me the sanity clause".

There's no such thing as a Santa Clause.

I like Jr but some of the decisions his management have made are bewildering. The Spike Sullivan fight is decent though, they'll probably add it to a "PPV" card.

So they're letting him keep the title until the day after he defends it, then stripping him for inactivity. That's gotta be a new one right?

Something tells me that they'll allow 2 interim champions and just start crowning 4 champions per division.

Acting champions now. I was wondering what the WBA would do next to further enhance the sport of boxing

I'll have to check the paperwork, but i'm pretty sure i'm the acting interim silver intercontinental diamond (Super) WBA champion, in recess.

Its almost like getting a star named after you. Just pay the WBA and theyll send you a belt.

It was the BJS side that withdrew from the rematch, they were told by the WBO they could be stripped of the mandatory position even if they won.

[daggum]

eubank jr will be the regular interim champ emeritus in recess. i think we are all clear on what that implies

[boxinghead530]

Wtf is that **** all about. Damn this is the reason boxing can't be taken serious. A sanctioning body who has three recognized champs in one division and in reality almost four. Talk about f'ed up. Can we now just not recognized the WBA as a major sanctioning body. Golovkin(super), Jacobs(regular), Eubanks jr(interim) and now another possible interim. WOW
