Comments Thread For: James DeGale, Chris Eubank Jr. To Collide For Vacant IBO Strap

Please ignore the IBO. There is no need to give yet another "belt" any attention.

We already have more than enough belts as it is.

The IBO desperately tries to cling onto high level fighters when they can but their belt eventually get dumped when their champ fights a real titleholder in the division.

The only weight class that's been holding it for a long time by long time reigns is Heavyweight, other than that it seems like recently they're trying to get their hands in the Light Middleweight to Super Middleweight division since all these guys fight each other.

James DeGale all the way.

Eubank jr with the prestigious attempt to become two-time IBO champ.

[Eff Pandas]

Good fight for a more meaningless belt than the other ones. F#ck the IBO.

[alexguiness]

Eubank wants to win the coveted IBO belt he won by beating...Reynold Quinlan.

That was his 'signature win'.

🤷*♂️ James DeGale on the IBO belt: “For me it is not recognised as one of the four major world titles... I once saw him [Eubank Jr] walking around a London nightclub with it wrapped round himself. He was parading it around like he was champion of the world, he is mad.” [@IndySport]

The International Boxing Organisation has always been considered one of the most ********ic boxing outlets in the world today. The unique setup of the IBO has always attracted many of the world's most elite fighters to contesting for its titles.

I follow boxing 50+ years and have a 41 am/13 pro slate.
You like to argue this?
The IBO IS basically the RUIN of our crossover.
