Joe Knight....the longest reining true real and authentic lineal sim champion has let it be known through a consortium of interested investors, that he is open to putting on a show with the current IBO champion. It's a simple yes or no.


How it's handled is of no concern, whether by sanctioning of the IBO, or an outlaw exhibition, or in the field behind the Texaco Gas station in Fayetteville Arkansas, he would be happy to entertain the bum. (His words not ours, we are simply the conveyor of this highly controversial message, and do not wish to incur legal repercussions for impuning the character...if there is character to impune.......

This offer void in Oregon, (Also......Void where prohibited, and you will be taken in for indecent exposure.) This is a time limited offer and the GENUINE and AUTHENTIC and REAL and LINEAL champion awaits the decision.

In a statement from Steve Shuffleshits:

"We here at the IBO want our fighters to move on to bigger and better things than just our belt. We hope that having the IBO title helped catapult Archie Moore into his title fight victories over Ezzard Charles. With that logic in mind, we'd be ecstatic if Sam Langford could use the IBO belt to achieve future greatness. We condone this encounter if Langford's camp wants this fight!".

Keep in mind, if Knight was to win, the IBO title would become vacant. If Langford was to win, it would be his first defense of the belt inside he top 10. He'd get one more belt defense until the title would become vacated.

Langford of course if more than keen to fight Knight. A simple yes is all he said when asked about the fight.

Then it's on this week. Good luck to both Knight and Langford.
