    due to IBF regulations, Purdy cant win title even if he wins Alexander cannot lose title even if he loses

    wait, so if Alexander loses, the belt doesn't become vacant

    Eddie Hearn said if Purdy wins he gets too fight for the vacant title. Feel bit sorry for him he's massive welterweight who fought 2 months ago was always going to struggle to make weight with in 4 weeks

    Purdy is a pretty big welter, his last fight he looked huge.

    Another "protected American fighter", huh? Alexander is now "protected" from losing his title.

    I hate these boxing organizations. They're robbing 30% of boxers purses just for something 1 or 2 pounds.

    In Sugar Ray Leonard's book he says that even 1 or 2 pounds can make a big difference.
