THE WBC have done it again

[Glass Joe]

So Callum Smith the WBC diamond champ loses out to Avni Yildirim who lost his last fight and got leathered by Eubank Jr

[a93]

Canelo pulling in the favours. Yilidrim as mentioned is coming off a defeat and hasn’t fought in over 18 months

[bigjack]

top fight i'd pay good money to see

[Wee Tommy]

Pathetic.

[Twinkle Toes]

An absolute shocker

[bigjack]

Pathetic.

In my best Scottish accent 'Avni laugh'

[Ruthless-RKO]

Has the board already voted?

Maybe the vote was held at an all expenses paid restaurant, most probably wasn't though

Even DAZN aren't stupid enough to arrove this fight. This will be the same as the fielding fight.

Highly likely mate. Tbh these days I can hardly give a fornicate about boxing. At least in MMA we see the fights that should happen. Boxing’s full of shite.

Avni was owed a sot due to the controversial ending of the Dirrell fight, hence him waiting out time until getting it, it was him VS one of the offers that were made to the WBC (Canelo, Smith and Abdugofurov IIRC).

So whilst it might seem stupid Avni was pretty much assured a shot before Benavidez fucked up his weight (and unlike the Fast Fres situation is getting it by the looks of things).

The WBC (and WBO to a lesser extent) is creating more and more potential situations where things can get very complicated very quickly.

They had Anvi owed a shot, and had a Franchise champion (I believe they can move up and down and get mandatory placements), and then they can have Diamond and Interim titles.

The WBO, to their credit, can only have a mandatory and Super Champion a division lower

And the less said about the WBA the better.

I wouldn’t rule out Smigga getting a crack if he can shed some weight?...

[Delta Jay]

Maybe I could get a shot next

Nah they’re gonna send you a lowball offer and secretly decide to give me the fight but forget to tell either of us until 20 minutes before ring walks.

Nothing personal it’s just business baby

Same here,i don't even bother watching anything really,just look on here for the result and that's it,can't even be bothered watching the next day on youtube.

[Boxing Prospect]

He's forgetting about there being a WBA "regular" Middleweight champion...

[a93]

Gets better.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Gets better.

For Wilder eh?

[a93]

If any additional divisions are being made it needs to be between light heavy and cruiser IMO.

[Onamastus]

If you're going to fight only once or twice a year you need to take on meaningful opponents. What a waste of time.
