can anyone tell me did joel casey win the world wbf title last night or asia -pac....and who did he fight

He beat Yoshinora Nishizawa by 6th rd TKO. Ref Brad Griffiths stopped it after two knockdowns. He won the WBO Asia Pacific and WBF (Foundation) "World" title. The WBF (Foundation at least) will let a fighter fight for another organisations regional at the same time. The splitting of the WBF has hit the Australian based organisation really hard. The two that headed the split were the ones responsible for getting Croucher fights overseas in South Africa and Europe

WBF would let its "World" champ fight for State title at the same time.

8th round I thought.

I was told RD 8 to. Good on Joel he has been trying hard to win a belt and now 2 in 1 night and a WBF world title still is a world title no matter what

No it's not

So now the WBF has two spoons in the alphabet soup.

No it's not

It's not even the equivelent of a commonwealth title, wait a minute it's not even a WBO Asia Pacific belt.

The WBF will never be a world title

And i'm sure Joel Casey would tell you he isn't a world champ, good on him for winning a title but world it is not.

Joel will now have a break from fighting and we'll be doing some hard training in the gym over the next couple of months. These titles he's earned will hopefully lead to some bigger fights in the second half of the year and he has the hunger and determination to make a statement against a quality opponent.

Stay tuned......bigger things to come.

Im sure Joel would be stoked to have the WBF and WBO Asia Pacific Belt.

Good Luck To Joel in the future, He is a tough guy and is improvng with each fight.

No disrespect intended to Joel, I too am sure he would be pleased for the belts and a good win over tough old war horse Nishizawa is nothing to sneeze at, good luck to Joel.

well done joel , dont worry about the w.b.f if they want to strip it off you they will , so that they get paid for sectioning fees else where , but keep defending that w.b.o and your in the top 10 soon and then you get some good money and maybe even a shot.

wat sort o money u thing he go?any one no

I know the WBF world title is shit compared to all the others but to someone that knows nothing about boxing they would'nt know. Im just saying good on joel he is over the moon to have won a belt thats all guys

true true junkyard , he will be able to get some more sponsors , and at the end of the day in 20yrs he can show his grand kids a belt with WORLD CHAMP on it .... PLUS if he climbs the wbo raitings and the champ chooses joel there manager can highlight that joel casey is a world champion to the press in whatever country the champs from .

Is this the 10-7-3 Joel Casey we're talking about?

Yep, good luck to him, he does seem to improve as he comes along.
Reading between your lines though, WBF baby.

My appoligies to joel if he thinks this is offensive, i certainly don't think it's offensive.

Reality is it ain't a world title, if Joel wants to tell people who don't know the difference he's a world champ, good on him, but this is very reason why (people who don't know) can't follow the sport, because fake world titles are given to blokes with 9-7 records.

Good on Joel again for winning a Belt, i sincerely hope everything go's well, but if someone comes on here claiming him a world champ, i will voice the truth.

I seen Casey up close a few months back. Seems to be improving all the time. And dosn't aviod hard fights.

His tough as nails, no question about it.

I hope they give him a couple of quick fights maybe 3 in 2 months to pretty up the record, and maybe revisit a couple of the opponents that served him up the first time.

True that.

That would be good to see, you also mentioned the Commonwealth title earlier, would be good to see a Commonwealth title fight.

Have the WBF stooped to a new level....how can 2 people hold the exact same title, not interim, not vacant and not super champion....the exact same title.
