It’s not the way he wanted to earn the distinction, but Devin Haney is officially boxing’s youngest title claimant. The unbeaten 20-year old lightweight was upgraded from interim to full World Boxing Council 135-pound champion, without having to step foot in the ring. The ruling came Wednesday afternoon during the ratings review portion of the WBC annual convention in Cancun, Mexico. Haney’s upgrade came as a result of unified and now former WBC titlist Vasiliy Lomachenko (14-1, 10KOs) being named as the sanctioning body’s “Franchise” champion.
The move came at the request of Top Rank, Inc., whom promotes LomachenkoComment

Walking back all the statements Wilder made would be a disaster. Deontay may avoid Whyte but accepting a franchise belt would be radioactive to his credibility.Comment

Wider shouldn't need to fight Whyte or anyone else in the top 10. Opinions of fanboys should be enough to for him to keep his championship belt.
Wilder beat Ortiz who is well known as being one of the best 40 year old fighters in the world. And he beat Breazeale in a round. Breazeale is also one of the best fighters in the world. Wilder also beat Stiverne who is also one of the best fighters in the world. I could go on...Comment
