There may not even be a source yet I'm guessing. If the decision had have been made wouldn't it be all over the net?

Apparently, WBA decision will be released tomorrow

About time. They have scratched their butts over this long enough.

If Soliman wins this weekend I doubt Geale will be fighting GGG this summer.

Geale said last night he was still waiting for his next fight to be confirmed as the WBA is yet to make a decision on whether or not GGG can fight him instead of fletcher.

Hopefully the decision does come today eaither way.

GGG's team has already said they can't fight fletcher as HBO wot have it. So it will be interesting if the WBA saiys he has to.

I don't think Sam's result will affect it as if Sam wins te IBF belt, he will want to cash in with the biggest fight possible, which would be a unification bout with GGG late this year

So is Australian tv going to throw a large payday at Sam to unify with GGG?

Don't kid yourself into thinking HBO will be interested in a non-American, 40-year-old, double-digit loss, low ko% opponent with just one previous fight on the network nearly a decade ago.

If belts meant a damn thing to HBO they would have approved Fletcher to avoid the possibility of their poster-child being stripped, they won't care if Sam is bringing a belt to the table.

The WBA decision is irrelevant, either GGG fights an HBO approved opponent with the WBA belt or he fights an HBO approved opponent without the belt.

DG said on his FB this morning that he is hoping for a decision from the WBA today.

It's on. Confirmed by DG minutes ago.

Really excited for this one. It's one of the best possible fights at 160.

WBA title had disappeared outta Boxrec schedule? It was there this morning. I wonder what's cooking??

At least it looks like the fight is made. Talk of a super belt too? Can boxing belts get much sillier?

The game is extremely honest these days.
Super World champ
Unified World champ
World champ
Interim World champ (except WBC, which decided Silver World champ gives it more class)

IMHO, overwhelmingly honest WBA & WBC should join forces & run the Vatican

When 3G gets pressured he tends to throw his head into peoples face and gets a bit dirty using his elbows and head-buts etc. Geale's no come forward fighter but his stick to you and move is something 3G has never faced. If 3G wins this it should remove the superstition around his title's credentials (from my point of view anyway).

Geale should provide GGG with his sternest test so far. Just hope he's got enough tricks to make GGG dig deep and make mistakes.
