    Did George Groves shun the IBO title?

    I may be wrong. But I didn't see it in any post-fight interviews or photos and my stream cut off right after the decision was announced.

    no idea, but his shoulder was separated so it's not like he could grab both belts and hold them up.

      Hopefully. Everyone should. Adding a fourth title was already devastating to the sport. A fifth title would be absolutely crippling.

          Agreed. If I had an IBO belt I'd wipe my ass with it or use it as a dinner plate

            Personally I always considered Hatton's WBU title to be the true belt everyone wanted. Can't wait to see how much it goes for on ebay if Ricky fancies another coke binge.

                I know we'll never have 1 governing body but if we could at least merge the 4/5 down to 2/3 that would be a start.
