    Its quite ironic really considering prior to him pulling out with his suspect ankle injury , the first fight was such a bore fest that they were massively struggling to sell out the MEN arena with for the rematch with barely 2/3 tickets sold in june '16.

    he should have just accepted 75% of the HW divisions title belts if he had won the fight instead of granting a rematch.. fought his mandatory and gone after wilder. No sympathy for Fury's poor decisions tbh
    all great points.

    it really shows how incompetent hennessy is. he had a chance to win most of the major belts, outright, with no options. knowing glazkov would be a super easy first defense. knowing klitschko would be forced to take an 80/20 split in a rematch.

    and he completely blew it by being short sighted and greedy.

    a great promoter like hearn would never have made that mistake.

      The most blatant is WBO's favoritism towards TR and Warren.

      Whenever a TR fighter wants a WBO belt, they'll grant one for them. Same goes for Warren. I think Anthony Yarde is like no.2 ranked for WBO at 175.

      The most obvious case was when Trout was removed from the rankings so that Liam Smith could fight John Thompson for the vacant belt.

        What international/ intercontinental belt does nearly every single Matchroom Olympian hold?

          WBO is in bed with Top Rank, I’m almost sure that WBO president and Bob Arum have to be related through marriage!

          WBC and Haymon is another as well as WBC and Goldenboy!

          What that chubby fûçker Sulaiman said about celebrating Canelo signing with DAZN cuz he was gonna get over 300 mill was beyond disgusting and obviously corrupt!

          Boxing needs an overhaul badly, starting with getting rid of these belt organizations and just having one would be a great start!

            Not one single belt holder from matchroom with a WBA ranking title such as the international or continental belts are ranked really deserve their placements in the WBA ranks given their opposition levels.


            Okolie based on boxrec world ranking MAYBE...

            but buatsi, kelly and CERTAINLY connor benn doesnt deserve their ranks.

            Connor benn is ranked ****ing tenth in the WBA ffs

              I only hope that he gifts us with another fantastic post-match interview a'la fury / parker , and even better if hughie gets robbed.

              "shades of muhammad ali" absolute gold lol.

                Anymore?

                IBF seem the most legit. If you don't follow the rules they'll strip you and don't give a **** who you are.
                You Sir are ******.

                They favour certain boxers who draw in very large crowds. Not promoters.

                Eg Nelo etc not the promoters.

                You Sir are a ****** Rapist.

                  The was so blatant. I didn't even notice it when it happened but looking back that was shameless corruption.

                    😂😂I know, it’s scary to think someone as bad as Conor Benn would be allowed to challenge Thurman or Pacquiao.
                    The WBA are a disgrace though, Joe Fournier is ranked #11 at light heavyweight😭😭
