[Boxing News] IBF ordered Derevyachenko-Jacob and WBA ordered Ryota Murata-Rob Brant

[Outworn]

So if Derevyachenko and Jacob don't want to fight eachother, or if Jacobs gets Canelo...then Charlo is the next name down on the IBF rankings?

Yes but it also depend if Jermall will accept it or chase the more lucrative fight in Golovkin as he's WBC interim champ.

I'm glad the WBC has eliminators for this reason. I don't understand what Rob Brant has done to deserve a shot at the 'Regular' WBA middleweight title ; I think even a Demetrius Andrade is more deserving.

I got no issue with the IBF, the title is vacant 'Lil-G' ducked Derevhwjkjaigihy and Jacobs is top five.

Yeah Brant vs Andrade for final eliminator would've been nice. I think Bob "*** Scum" Arum has something got to do with it.

All eyes on Jacobs to see whether he accept the fight against Derevhwjkjaigihy or wait for WBA to order Lil-G vs Jacobs 2 .

What the fck did Brant do to warrant a title shot?

Beaten by old man Braehmer at 168.

We'll get to see if Dervyanchenko is worth hyping up if he beats Jacobs. On the other hand Jacobs will be a bigger commodity and a more attractive opponent for big fights if he wins that belt - this actually feels like the work of Hearn. Interesting that Murata is going to be kept busy as well, it's like all of Golovkin's options that aren't Canelo or Charlo are getting deliberately cut off.

Rob Brant is the WBA number 1 contender and I never even heard of him before. I have to research him to see if he is any good. Jacobs should soon be a world champion again by beating the 12 fight wonder. How many fans will think of him as the true middleweight champion?

[boliodogs]

Boxrec ranks Brant as the 44th best middleweight in the world but the WBA has him ranked number 1. Somebody is wrong.I am guessing it's the WBA.
