WBA shenanigans #212: Shumenov

[TrillScottHeron]

Yeah they’re full of chit. Besides Bivol and Inoue, all of their “regular” champions should not be called champions.

[j0zef]

I thought they said they're gonna reduce the number of these paper champions?

[Larry the boss]

I just took a look at who is fighting next week and I just
noticed that Beibut Shumenov is fighting against Hizni Altunkaya for the vacant WBA (regular) belt.

Shumenov has been inactive. His last fight was more than 2 years ago.

Altunkaya is ranked #71 according to boxrec, doesnt have a good win and lost against glowacki a year ago.

Earlier this year the WBA sanctioned a fight for the vacant (regular) belt between Arsen Goulamirian and Ryad Merhy.
Boxrec now lists that fight for the "interim WBA (regular) belt".
I dont know why they changed it.

So end of next week, we will have

WBA super: Murat Gassiev
WBA regular: probably Beibut Shumenov and
WBA interim: Arsen Goulamirian

WBA is the biggest joke lol.

And all 3 of them just have to win and will rack up title defenses...all are true champions!!

🤦*♂️ After finally unifying their 'super' and 'regular' featherweight titles with Leo Santa Cruz v Abner Mares II, the WBA have now sanctioned a new 'regular' belt for Jhack Tepora v Edivaldo Ortega on July 14th.

Correction lol.
Jhack Tepora Vs Edivaldo Ortega is for the interim WBA title.

Apparently,

Joseph Diaz Vs Jesus Rojas is for the regular title.

the WBA super, WBA regular, WBA interim at 126, smh.
