Yup.
Continue building the paper champs, Britian.
Benavidez still the interim.
Hopefully Benavidez can get his shot at Burn's paper title and barring any serious paper cuts, takes care of the paper jam that is most british world titles.

Who cares about the wba? They are really the worst sanctioning body today. Glad there's the Transnational Boxing Rankings who crowns genuine and legitimate champions.

War Burns!!

Warrior and one of the nicest guys in the sport.

Santa Cruz, Broner, Burns. The WBA is making everyone a super paper champion lately.

I like Burns a lot but he hasn't beaten a credible opponent in three years... and yet he has the opportunity to become a super champion and a three-division world champ if he beats a euro-level italian...

Cleaning out a weight class has clearly become much harder than winning titles in multiple weight classes.

You're talking like Benavidez is more legit, he got a gift against Herrera for that title.

Benavidez isn't the interim champ, According to the WBA Website Di Rocco is the interim champ, although he never fought for the title.

WBA is just ridiculous,
some weeks ago, they announced to get rid of the regular title in an effort to limit the number of champions.

Then shortly after Burns and Di Rocco was initially sanctioned as a WBA regular title fight before Broner failed to make weight and now they are fighting for the WBA Super title fight.

Interim champ Benavidez will probably elevated to regular champ to make a spot free for a vacant interim title fight.

Wait, what..? Isn't Ricky Burns on like a 7351fight losing streak, yet he's fighting for the super champion status with a major sanctioned organization? These organizations are a joke! Now I see why fighters don't really care and relinquish them
