Shouldn't Braehmer be fighting Kovalev now? Didn't WBA say they were trying to eliminate all the belts?

They did, except in the case of Braehmer, who gets to fight anyone Sauerland wants in Germany and they get to call it a "title fight." I think WBA has granted Braehmer the equivalent of "tenure" that college professors get, whereby he gets to keep the "title" until Sauerland retires him

At least Pascal was man enough in order to get battered twice in exchange of two decent paydays on his way out... Not to mention that, in Quebec, Pascal provided Kova with his biggest career paydays.

Agreed i believe you should be man enough to actually face the top man at the weight class if you are a champion.
Trying to be the best is what boxing is all about
