IBU title belt. Another black eye for boxing.
 

I think I may have found the worst, most corrupt sanctioning body yet. The IBU.

They are offering you a title fight, You don't offer a goddamn title fight!!! :-( The look of this, yet another stupid sanctioning body isn't good.

Why do I bring this up now? Simple, James Toney beat no-namer Gunn for the title earlier this year, which was a disgrace itself. But now they have managed to go another step down, 45 year old Rick Camlin, Fought twice in the last seven years is getting a title shot. This Saturday I saw due to piles of advertising for a Ustream of it on Boxrec.

Camlin is a low-level club fighter. On a comeback after two KO losses to Galen Brown and Scott Pamberton in 04'. He beat 0-2 Damen Reed and 5-3 Chris Venola early this year by stoppage.

That gets him a " title fight " by the cons at the IBU's standards yes it does. Which is horrible for a great sport like boxing.

Re: IBU title belt. Another black eye for boxing.
 

Looking through the IBU's rankings, they have all the lower level fringe world contenders ranked first and second in the hope someone will call for a title shot :lol:
