Combination of Germany, Sauerland Promotion, WBA and Eddie Hearn and a ton of corruption / money.
Just check out what happened to the WBA belt in the last couple years. A total german bum called Feigenbütz suddenly got to fight for a vacant title vs an Italian. The Italian got robbed and got the rematch (since the Itialian is easier to defeat than a real mandatory). The Italian (Giovanni de Carolis) then knocked out german Feigenbutz. But it didnt stop here. Sauerland brought up another bum and they paid off the WBA to fight for the title yet again, this time the Italian had to fight Tyron Zeuge. Zeuge got a lucky draw in his hometown, so another rematch vs the Italian and that time Zeuge somehow luckily got the knockout in Round 12.
Then they brought up an african dude into the WBA rankings called Isaak Ekpo so they could sell him as Zeugs mandatory for the WBA strap. Zeuge didnt know how to fight the guy, was totally helpless, wanted to quit, suddenly the fight was stopped because of a cut and went to the cards and Zeuge got the KO victory.
And here we are, Sauerland contacted Hearn for and they bring in Paul Smith since they know thats probably a guy that Zeuge can beat on his best day.
Thanx for explaining that. Kind of cleared it up for me.
