Why on earth?

This mornings papers say the hold up regarding finalising the Joshua v Klitschko fight is the fact that the WBA are recommending Klitschko should fight either Lucas Browne or Ortiz for vacant title.
This is the major problem with boxing today. The WBA recommendation cannot possibly be based on ' boxing' because Klitschko had been their champion for years and lost a close decision to Fury , and THEY authorised a rematch. Any boxing fan knows that Joshua is up there in the top five, so how could they NOT authorise a fight between them for the title?
We all know what's going on - and it's absolutely nothing to do with boxing !
The only thing that can be done if they don't sanction it, is for our Board to sever all ties with the WBA and have nothing more to do with them.
