But Kovalev didn't need to be in the tournament and now he doesn't have a belt. Granted, he has the rematch clause but the LHW division should have been the choice. Would have been great for guys like Beterbiev/Bivol/Gvozdyk/etc. And I could have seen Jack enter the tournament as he is that type of guy.
This is going to be the hard part as we get to season 3 or season 4 of the tournament. Too many weight classes are occupied by fighters signed to major promoters or those that get prime time slots on ESPN or SHO or HBO. So are you just going to continue putting on tournaments with the same weight classes?

Meh will still be fun, but feels like a bit of a tack on and not really necessary.
I think they would have been better served to stay consistent with the first few years doing 2 divisions a year.
That said. More great boxing for DAZN in the US. Looking really good value to me even if Hearns stable is ***** WBSS is killing it

What’s gonna happen is they will be fighting for some fughin belt ( just what we need more belts ) that gonna make some b- rated fighter a mandatory or something and that’s how we get more mismatches
So in the end we get shafted and don’t get the fights we really wanna see
Promoters get more leverage ( a la Joshua - Wilder ) Pac May etc etc
