They are going to take away the belt from the obvious champion and put it on someone else that hasn't really earned it. Wouldn't they diminish their title?




This is the kind of crap you get when they have an "Alphabet Soup" of various sanctioning bodies that control boxing.

Just like years ago when there were only 8 divisions in boxing. Today, there are now 17 different classifications that vary only by a few pounds each. Add to that all the sanctioning bodies and that makes for several dozen champions from top to bottom.

I don't get why all those exist. There are 5 weight classes in between lightweight and light heavyweight. Those 2 weight classes have a 40# weight difference (135-175). Usyk weighed 40#s less than Fury in the fight.

Someone really needs to streamline it all. UFC really does the weigh classes better. Although probably still too many..
