The April 30, 2022 bout between Victor Ionascu and Kakha Avetisiani was a non-title bout. It was not for Ionascu's World Boxing Federation Intercontinental super welterweight title.
Ionascu had been scheduled to defend the title against another fighter. Avetisiani was a late substitute and, according to World Boxing Federation President Howard Goldberg, the World Boxing Federation did not approve him as a title challenger.

This bout is still listed as a World Boxing Federation Intercontinental title bout even though it was confirmed by World Boxing Federation President Howard Goldberg that it wasn't.
