The Gods Have Spoken! LHW Champs In WBSS Tourney!!

[Thuglife Nelo]

It may even add Lomachenko’s division..Top Rank’s plan all along

�� Sergey Kovalev claims he is in negotiations to take his WBO light-heavyweight title into a tournament - rumoured to be next year's WBSS. He says it'd include Dmitry Bivol (WBA), Artur Beterbiev (IBF) & Oleksandr Gvozdyk (WBC), and crown an undisputed champion. [@SportExpress]

Wow, my hats off to the WBSS if this happens. Truly the organization/promoter that is doing what the fans wants. Hope they take over boxing.

This sounds too good to be true!!!!

Only question is will Bob let Gvozdyk enter it. We know he protected Ramirez from enterring the jr ww tourny.

[just the facts]

Only question is will Bob let Gvozdyk enter it. We know he didn't let Ramirez enter jr ww tourny b/c of protection.

Considering all of them are under contract with Bob and none of them are big stars (okay maybe Kovalev a little), why not????

If this is confirmed and they manage to get all the champs on board it's an almost unbelievable coup for the WBSS... here's the rub though - I am struggling to believe it. I can see Duva and Ryabinsky taking the chance with Bivol, but I'm having more trouble seeing uncle Bob allow Kovalev, Beterbiev and Gvozdyk fight on DAZN when he could build to an in-house unification.

Same here .......

[DuckAdonis]

Is that why the Yarde fight has been cancelled?

Kovalev is the man! True warrior. Fight everyone everywhere. Let's goooo champ!
Let's gooo! Bivol- better man up. Don't care which network it happens on. ESPN got all the champs tho. This is too good to be true man. Never thought I would see this.

Does it really have to be on DAZN though?
