On February 23, 2019, Anthony Dirrell fought Avni Yildirim for the then vacant WBC Super Middleweight World Championship.

What about that whole Ottoman Empire thing?

I don't follow that stuff, I follow boxing and Turkey has a population of 80 million and there has never been a single Turkish World champion EVER in a sport with 17 weight divisions and 4 world titles per weight! They can't fight at all.

WBC assuming Benavidez will beat Love tomorrow. lol I don't blame them.

[wrecksracer]

WBC? Why don't they just make belts for all of them?

What about that whole Ottoman Empire thing?

I think he means they can't box. With a population so big, they statistically should have had a high chance of winning a belt in one of the divisions.

I'm assuming it's not that popular there, meaning the likely best athletes don't ever take up the sweet science.

It doesn't matter how big the population is in Turkey if they are not a boxing nation which they are not. That explains why they have not had a world champion boxer in any division.
