Comments Thread For: IBF Offers Clarification On Heavyweight Title Situation

[anonymous2.0]

It sucks to see the Heavyweight division get slowly fragmented into multiple champs. That's what I liked about Wlad is that he unified and collected. Now like every other division we're soon going to have 2, 3, 4 heavyweights running around yelling 'I Da Champ!'

Kathy Duva's punk ass wasn't willing to negotiate. She just pushed for the purse bid straight away.

I hope Charles Martin beats Glazkov and ruins all her plans.

But we will still be left with a more fragmented heavyweight title now regardless. We are further away from having a unified champ instead of being closer.

Can't be arsed to even involve myself with this latest story....fury is pants and anything that stops that lummox holding a belt suits me .....a mandatory is a mandatory and if you consider yourself to be world champion then you defend your belts, however I'm sure fury knows he has a limited time with the belts and if he can have his massive money fight against klitchko at Wembley then fair play.....it is what it is

Don't think you can blame any individual groups here. Wlad wanting a rematch clause is reasonable. As is Fury accepting it. The IBF are just enforcing their mandatory. And Main Events are making sure their fighter gets his shot.

What's wrong is that you can have 4 different world heavyweight champions.

Exactly, the fact that 4 individuals can all claim to be "The Champion" is idiotic.
