The IBF is just following their own rules, but this may be a case where they wish they hadn't. Fury is the hot ticket at the moment. Anyone or anything associated with him automatically gains some measure of that cachet. The IBF are now stuck with an unknown guy in Martin or a completely unmarketable robot in Glaskov. Meanwhile the rest of the world thinks they're a bunch of pricks for stripping Fury in the first place. It's not exactly a great look for them.

Initially I was hearing that Duva was refusing to negotiate for step aside money from the start. Did that turn out to be untrue?
So once all that happened, I think Duva figured out how much egg she had on her face and just said oh well lets fight Martin for the vacant title and maybe Haymon will over pay.Last edited by OnePunch; 12-09-2015, 09:37 AM.

This isn't good for boxing. It just makes potential title/unification bouts even more unlikely and trickier to negotiate.
Fury is the HW champion - he beat Wladimir. The rest are chumps.

Otherwise there would only be one champion and one #1 ranked fighter for each division. Imagine the World Series of Baseball or the Stanley Cup of Hockey being competed for and all of a sudden some other random group comes out with their own version of the title of Championship team. Unfortunately, this is the sad reality of boxing, a sport that demands more physically and mentally than any other sport and can find no room for legitimacy or operating standards.
