Yup and all the corruption that comes with them. Which is running strong ATM
People are dying
Ukrainian Wlad went to Moscow and beat Povetkin
But if we're arguing about corruption, then we shouldn't wish for the bout to be staged in the US either. In fact, it shouldn't even be a boxing match, where corruption is pretty much the established order.
Fury is holding that title, history is safe... whether you want to refer to his World Heavyweight Championship, or his WBA belt. No worries there (with the exception of Holmes who never held the WBA if I'm not mistaken).
It really makes me cringe when Wilder comes out with 'everyone wants the WBC, its the most prestigious belt' etc. Whats the logic, that it was held by great fighters? The fighters made that belt, and that needs to apply to him as well. I want to believe his desire to unify all of the belts and becoming the recognised champ etc, but its hard to accept if he's leaching onto supposed prestige of a belt that currently means nothing. Just my thoughts anyway
I agree with you. It's a paper title. But at the same time it still has history and it would be a shame if he vacates it because of refusing to travel.

Nope Russia is far worse. Not saying about the people but its athletic dept. Corruption at the highest order. Except the ones that died
You would rather vacate the title rather than fight for it and lose it in the ring?
Im not Wilder but if he does vacate i wont blame him. Dont get me wrong a fight in Russia would be cool to see but lately, not in the past but in the present, there is major corruption in the athletics dept.
