Badou Jacks vacated, Stevenson/Jack happening?

[Gentblue]

So Bivol is gonna be the WBA champ as Ward retired and Jack Vacated. God there's too many belts

[HanzGruber]

Is a Stevenson-Jack fight really more lucrative in Canada than a Stevenson-Alvarez fight?

Stevenson-Jack was cool as a unification, but without that it's a meaningless fight to me.

It's not even a real unification. Jack had the baby version of the wba

[Clegg]

I figured part of the reason Jack fought Cleverley for the belt was so that he could fight Stevenson, and it would count as a unification and therefore make it possible for Adonis to bypass Alvarez yet again. Maybe Jack is going for one of the belts Ward vacated instead, hard to know how the sanctioning bodies will handle that situation. As with Crawford giving up his straps at 140 I have a bad feeling we're just gonna get a bunch of 'good fighter vs random you've never heard of' vacant title fights.

Ward vacated his WBA Super title and the WBA is going to one belt per weight class so Jack-Bivol would have been for the sole WBA belt.

WBA has Bivol #1 and Barrera #2. WBO has Gvozdyk #1 and Kovalev #2. IBF has Beterbiev #2 and Koelling #3, #1 is vacant. So there are your 3 vacant LHW title fights if everyone comes to terms.

[Motorcity Cobra]

If he's fighting Stevenson I'm cool with this. If he's fighting a tune up before Stevenson he should've fought Bivol for the full title since Ward retired and the Stevenson fight would be for 2 titles

[Floyd is TBE]

No, Jack wanted to fight Stevenson and have a unification fight with Ward. That's obviously not happening now
