On Figs profile
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/718399 one can see that WBA Super title is on boat in his next fight with Fulton. I wanna ask, if it`s redactors mistake or MJ(or WBA) has vacated the title?

He never had the SUPER belt.
He was regular champion.
The fight with Nery wasn’t a unification, because other orgs don’t consider the regular as a world title if there is a Super title. But now BoxRec are saying he’s the Super champion..
Looks like a Boxrec mistake.

I wouldn't call it a boxrec mistake.
The wba has printed so many belts nobody can be expected to keep an accurate count of belts and title holders.

The WBA will now list him as a Unified champion in their rankings (see Froch and when Ward was Super champion, or Canelo when Floyd was super champion).

I agree with the WBA's shit with this belts. But posting some title as a vacant without official infos from the Association can be called as a "mistake"
