I saw this on teletext last night, it mentioned that it was for the IBO Intercontinental title and that it was a world title eliminator!

It's a decent domestic matchup if they reschedule but honestly, that wound me up when I read that.

It's an eliminator for the full IBO title, so I wouldn't read too much into it.

Oh I realised that it would have to be for that or the WBU or something, but there's some sports fan out there who doesn't know any better who thinks that fight is a world title eliminator, that's what worries me.

I thought there was no TV perhaps because no one will broadcast fights for nonsense belts. (obviously Hatton has the IBO - I think that's just so he can have something "concrete" to go with his "lineal", Ring mag, title, to help sell his fights.)

Yeah, he should pack it in now - hearing him speak these days isn't good.

Yes your quite right I ment mor post the Khan performance rather than post the Khan fight as a blow out over a couple of rounds isn't what beats you its a sustained battle over the rounds as in Katsidas.
