So far all I've heard about is 118 pounds and 140 pounds, but the WBSS said they would have a third division as well this year and I forgot who but someone said it would be above 160 pounds, leading many to speculate it had to be 175 as we all had hoped. But since then I have heard nothing. What's the story?

Yes, I haven't heard anything about not having a 3rd weight class but they have kept it pretty quiet on that front. I know everyone has assumed 175 because of some of the hints, but I've heard rumblings they might do 168 again. -
Well I havent heard any hints, just everyone knew it wouldnt be heavyweight, and they already did 168 and cruiser, so all that leaves is 175. But that's discounting the possibility that they would just redo one of the divisions they did last year, which would be a major disappointment since 168 is one of the weakest divisions in the sport not to mention it didn't deliver at all for the WBSS either. I mean it was nice Groves-Eubank Jr happened and it was an OK fight, but neither of them are P4P guys although Groves has improved a lot so you dont want to put a ceiling on what he could continue to accomplish. But right now, he's not. And Callum Smith, the guy who was supposed to make the 168 tournament interesting, looks like a dud, a bust.
So, I hope it's 175, and not 168, but doesn't sound promising from what you're saying. How sure are you it's 168 again? How credible are your hints?Comment

Not sure at all. I've just heard rumblings that they were going to roll back 168 with new guys since it wasn't a loaded crop the first time around. Heard Fedor Chudinov might be in it. Who knows through, might be bull****Comment

I think its gotta be 175.. They said another division above 160. 168 and 200 were last season so only 175 left.Comment

Who could they actually get for 175 though?Comment
