Yep laikovich 2006 wbo belt. Last quality win came from way behind to stop him

I'm happy for Briggs.

Finally all that hard work of self promotion payed off.

Let's go champ.

Briggs gets title shot without beating a top fighter in what feels like 10 years now you know why people laugh at politics of boxing. He was best available? Please

There's definately truth in what you are saying. But let's just be happy for the man he's a fun character and sport needs characters.

So that's Parker vs Ruiz and Briggs vs Browne. How much for the Ruiz and Briggs double?

At the end of the day, Browne beat the regular champ Chagaev in Russia, no small feat and more than quite a few other 'champions' have had to do, and the whole PED weight stripper thing, I'd be inclined to believe browne. He deserves a shot, but I have no idea how Haye and Briggs, after that ridiculous light sparring against nobodies has got them into WBO & WBA mando positions!? that is crazy

This is good news for Briggs

I'm so happy for both fighters! Briggs gets a well earned title shot and Browne gets redemption for the BS that happened in Chechnya. I favour Browne slightly but it's a 50/50 fight really!
