Lucas Browne may face Fres Oquendo as a way to settle the lawsuit Browne filed against the WBA, WBA president Gilberto Mendoza Jr. has said.

This is only possible because Chagaev has been stripped of his WBA regular heavyweight title and removed from the ratings for failing to pay a sanctioning fee of $40,750 for a previous bout with Oquendo, according to a letter from the WBA to Chagaev.

Chagaev was supposed to face Oquendo after the title was given back to him after Browne’s positive test, but now Browne may be given that opportunity.

Browne filed suit against the WBA in May in Tacoma, Washington, claiming he didn’t intentionally digest any banned substances. Browne has offered that he might have eaten steak the night before the fight that contained clenbuterol.

Mendoza said the WBA may order that Browne and Oquendo face each other as a way to resolve Browne’s lawsuit.

“As you may know, Browne sued the WBA in Washington state,” Mendoza wrote. “A settlement possibility could be Oquendo v. Browne for the regular title in order to continue the tournament.”

Asked to clarify, Mendoza suggested a fight with Oquendo could be used as an olive branch to clear up the lawsuit. “There could be the possibility for a settlement,” he wrote.

Any high-minded, anyone who is noble aught keep > distance < from any-direct-part of these shenanigans. A direct part would be anything for being the promoter of such, to being a boxer on same card to being a coach of a boxer on same card.
I recognize as equals the WBC WBA IBF & WBO but this duplicating confuses the Sport worse and makes the championship worth much less.
The IBO's of the Sport are futile. "Tri-titles" are bad medicine them-selves.
