Campbell - Guzmán only for WBA/WBO belts?
Campbell - Guzmán only for WBA/WBO belts?
You have this match scheduled for September 13th, along with JMM-Casa for WBO interim & Ring's Title, but for Campbell-Guzmán, you only mention the WBA and WBO titles. Won't the IBF title be at stake, and if so, why not? Thanks.

Hello? Blue? Anyone?

This is from Fight-News:
Big lightweight fights in fall!
One year ago today, in an unusual coincidence, three different unrelated fighters named Diaz ruled the lightweight division. Juan Diaz held the WBA and WBO belts, Julio Diaz had the IBF title and David Diaz wore the WBC diadem. With Manny Pacquiao's win over David Diaz on Saturday, the entire Diaz trio has now been dethroned.
Juan Diaz, who eventually lost his titles to Nate Campbell, is penciled in to face ex-interim champ Michael Katsidis on September 6 in Houston. A week later, WBA/IBF/WBO lightweight king Nate Campbell is stated to face Joan Guzman and current WBO interim titlist Joel Casamayor has a date with Juan Manuel Marquez the same day. With most the other top talent at 135 being tied up in the fall, Manny Pacquiao's first WBC title defense planned for later this year could land against former two-time champion Julio Diaz who hammered prevously unbeaten David Torres on ESPN last week. "I would take a fight with Manny Pacquaio in a heartbeat," Julio told Fightnews. "Make no doubt about it that a fight between Pacquiao and I would be a fight....with me being from Southern California and a Mexican fighter, a fight between Pacquaio and I would be a big draw and a great fight for the fans."
So, please add the IBF title to the schedule!

It doesn't say that the IBF belt will be on the line. Last time I looked, Guzman was not yet rated by the IBF, although I expect he will be.
As with earlier cases Claude - just chill out. It will get taken care of in time, but the fight itself is apparently not yet even completely done.

In their newest ratings, the IBF lists Campbell as their champion!
