Wait untill the 26th when the proud WBU champion, Enzo Maccarinelli will make his proud ITV 4 debut. He'll be hyped as a world champion, you mark my words.

Its a shame if they aren't. Their Intercontinental-Pan-Asian-Sub-Polynesian title fights were always guaranteed barnstormers of the highest caliber. :wink:

Hopefully they will just drift away, Looks like Sky are going to be interested in WBC,WBA,IBF titles only, If ITV follow the same course then the WBU won't have anywhere left to go really.

this is when there titles were last on the line.

Was it ever in doubt?

At least some of the others go through the motions of rankings and mandatories. Without these, the WBU is just a blatent tool for certain promoters to hand pick bums for their fighters and call them world champs
