Looks like 2017 will be yet another banner year for boxing...

What the hell.... I thought Briggs was fighting Oquendo...... These organisations and politics need to END they all need criminally investigated, this is as bad as the 1930's all over again with the mafia running boxing inside and outside.

He is fighting him isn't he?.

Oh hell..... they meant December 31st 2017..... I thought it meant the rest of this year

The thread was made on 2nd of November before Brown got popped. Really not that difficult HH.

WBA will try to find somebody else who is interested in fights with Briggs and Oquendo, when NOBODY else wants those fights WBA will come back to Browne.

Briggs and Oquendo have until February 1st to come to terms and the winner fights Ustinov.

It's been a little bit since I posted that statement.
Since then the WBA has removed Browne from their rankings and the Briggs/Oquendo winner is ordered to face Ustinov afterwards so it's safe to say Browne will not be fighting for the WBA belt anytime soon.

Safe to say also that the WBA won't need to go back to Browne when they have Ustinov very keen to fight the winner. So keen his manager made demands that Ustinov be included in the initial match-up. But he'll have to settle for fighting the winner.

has the wba made a decision on whats next for their title?

Browne's reputation is trashed.

Big Daddy should see if he can get an opportunity to fight Povetkin in Russia. Big cash-out fight, two lads with the same PED reputation which would cancel each other out.

Browne is a tough so-and-so but Povetkin will school him and knock him out. But he will get a big pay-day and won't die wondering.

Am I the only one thinking making this fight would be realistic?
