The next British Heavyweight World Champion

[gavpowell]

The WBC and IBF are the ones to have, you can stick all the others in the bin for me

Why the IBF?

Wlad did it for that long I think they just made up a few more just to have a few more title fights on the box.

Those belts have been around for ages - how do you think Haye won his heavyweight title? He won a belt that shouldn't even have been available in the first place because it belonged to Chagaev, but by then we even had two WBA regular champions.

The super championship is supposedly a fighter who holds the WBA and any other belt(though at one stage during the early 2000s it was impossible to hold both WBC and WBA because they hated each other and would strip you of their title if you kept the other one) but subsequently they've deviated even from that and we've seen super champions with no other belt, as well as the regular WBA title being declared vacant. We also have:

WBA Champion in Recess
WBA Interim Champion("the real champion is indisposed, so you can hold this belt til he gets back")
WBA/WBC Emeritus Champion
WBC Diamond Champion
WBC Silver Champion

Then there are intercontinental champions, International Champions etc etc. And then there are the other federations: IBO, IBA, IBU, IBC, WBF, WBU, Ring Magazine,

And then they have the audacity to say "Hey, let's have a tournament to decide who the real champ is - solve all this multi-belt mess that's occurred" - there's a much easier way to do that; you undo all the stupid decisions you made and have the top two fighters in the division fight for the title.

It's a joke... Pmsl.. Eddie, Eddie Eddie, you are a tool fair play.. Lol

It's definitely a joke but he's fighting him for sure?

Ok I sing Hearn's praises as you know but looks like now he got a title AJ is taking an easy road and doing a bit of learning.

This next fight is a backward step back for Joshua ....disappointed but probably playing it safe waiting for the big Fury or klitchco stadium fight in the summer.

1 give this guy one or two rounds at best - he'd been better fighting... lets go champ

I watched that fight, I could be wrong but i think Brazeale is an ex football player, it's worse than embarrassing having him in a list of possibles, Eddie Hearn has no shame and i for one won't be watching this joke of a defence

Cracking fight, McWilliams Arroyo only had 16 pro fights and will be back, a future world champ no danger

[GeordieDS]

I'm watching Chocalito and it's a cracking fight, this other lad coming on strong in the ninth, miles behind but it's not over at all

No he is just the WBA Super world Champion and the other guy Lucas (who failed his drug test after the fight) is the Regular WBA world champion - basically they just made up another world champion.

So there is actually a few WBA (2) WBC IBF WBO and another if its still going? WBU - May have missed a few - Getting silly really might as well include the WCW

I felt sorry for fury getting stripped of his title for having to fight Wlad again as this was written into his contract - that should not be allowed as if any fighter is defeated he should have to wait his turn. With all the titles and nonsense of contracts and boxing politics' with different promoters and TV networks its nearly impossible to unify all the belts. Wlad did it for that long I think they just made up a few more just to have a few more title fights on the box.

It's total and utter bollocks is what it is, yeah I'm definitely going to defend it against the number one contender, oh sorry we couldn't agree terms?
They should say FU it's 60/40 in the champions favour and whoever doesn't accept that gets put at the bottom of the pile and has to start again, if your the best then great and if you're an overprotected fake then you'll be found out

Ok so the super champion is someone who holds more than one belt then

No the super Champion is currently Fury and the regular champion is Lucas big daddy Browne from Australia who defeated Ruslan Chagev?
Anyway this is supposedly also a world title but is actually either another title for being the number one contender or another world title but one that isn't quite as good as the other one in the same boxing organisation??

Anyway I don't know and I'm not sure when it all started - All I know is just don't drink the water if you have to fight for the title in Russia and everything will be alright

Ok so the super champion is someone who holds more than one belt then

Eddie will do the same with all his stable, unfortunately...

I'd love to see more of brook in action, he'll be hard to beat at welter he's a big lad at this weight and has good skills, Eddie needs to pull his finger out sharpish and get him some big fights ASAP. Its a shame he hasn't had more bigger fights upto now.

Warren did the same with Calzaghe, no wonder he was unbeaten

[Byrom]

I could be wrong but is the Super champion not just someone who has held the WBA title a certain length of time or defended it x amount of times?

While we're ranting when is Kell Brook going to fight someone of note? his division is full of talent and because of his dithering he's now on a collision course with Errol Spence Jnr who is now his number one contender, he's going to duck him but i hope he doesn't as that will be a real fight

Eddie will do the same with all his stable, unfortunately...
