If Haney isn't the champ why does he have 2 mandatory defenses?

If Teo is the undisputed lightweight champion with all four belts including the WBC what belt is Haney defending?

The WBC email belt

I know, it's ridiculous. Teonis the "real" WBC champion, but Haney, who apparently holds a lesser title, has two mandatories. Absolute insanity.

The WBC email belt

Who has the same belt Floyd held at lightweight?

[TheBoxGod]

In name Haney has the WBC champions belt with all its requirements but the actual who beat who to become the man is Teofimo which makes teofimo the Real Champion in everyones else. People try to pitch these fighters against each other and belittle the other to big up themselves but truth be told the energy should be directed at the WBC Maurico. We as fans should reconize that in reality Teofimo has the WBC Champion belt and Haney has the interim Champion belt if boxing was to go how its supposed to.

Haney was gifted that belt but at the end of the day it's the real WBC belt. All these ppl who mocked franchise when Morris Silly man introduced them are now helping make it something more important than it should be by now down playing the real one.

Its all simple to straighten out though. Teo the real champion just has to take Haney’s belt off him then lifes back to normal. Unless him and Bob are scared.

Emails........

[_original_]

Haney can't be referred to as a "champ" in any sense. He's a paper trinket holder via email.

I've just checked the WBC website. I can confirm Devin Haney is the Full WBC world champion regardless of some fans talking about emails and paper belts.

Teo SHOULD be undisputed, that Franchise belt shouldn't be a thing and Teo would of had the correct belt along with the others in his possession, but he doesn't so he isn't undisputed.

Ppl dont want to recognise Joshua's WBO world title but at the same time want to class WBC franchise as the full world title.

I get that Haney is the wbc champ but most rational fans see Teo as the undisputed champion.

The wbc really f-cked this up.
