May we all assume that these champions will be placing their belts on the line in the MDT? It's ok if you don't, but you will likely suffer public humiliation should you choose otherwise.

Yes, Gene has no problem with putting the IBF title on the line. I think its only fair to open up chances for others to be title holders.

Very good sir! I'm sending Muggsy and Spike over to talk to Crease to get his compliance....uh I mean his decision.

Unfortunately, Lewis was not eligible for a World Championship shot.. As such full WBC honours will be divided between him and Archie...

Archie Moore has been downgraded to WBC Interim World Champion and John Henry Lewis has been recognised as WBC Silver Champion.

Both "half-belts" will stay in circulation in the MDT, but they will not be collectable to other World Champions - until the final - when the 2 half-belts will be made whole again...
