What? Dubois needs to avenge his defeat to Joyce before having anything to do with any world title belt.
WBA Regular isnt a proper world title Also - from QP they can have Joyce 1st cab off the rank for the WBO and Dubois for the WBA. Makes a lot of sense
You're right it isn't...... but he will still be billed as a World Champion Which to be honest is madness considering one fight fight prior to his last he was stopped by Joyce. Far too many ridiculous belts in boxing its a joke
Yeah the WBA regular belt I put on par with the WBF world title Kali Meehan held. It will be more about gaining potential mandatory status as you say.
Messy division isn't it, the Heavyweight one, the WBA Regular Belt and the likes of Bryan and Charr even being talked about makes a mockery of it.
Surely Oquendo, is still lurking about, to compound this ridiculous con! Just ignore all this nonsense, get on board the recent Boxing News editorial.
The WBA (regular) is not a world title. There's people who have been duped that believe Ali et al. won this version of the belt. They didn't. They won the WBA World Heavyweight Title when it was not fragmented and certainly not WBA (regular). Their legitimate world title is obviously the WBA (super) and that is why it is the belt that is required to become undisputed. It would be amusing if Warren ended up in among Fury vs Joshua for the title of undisputed and on the other hand was billing Dubois as a world champion.
Picking up a WBA trinket isn’t a bad move. Dubois would bomb Trevor Bryan out in under 4 rounds. Dubois even with the limitations he showed in the Joyce fight is good enough to beat a lot of world level HWs
If it s Byran its an easy win for Dubois. Then they can line him a couple typical WBA Regular type opposition such as Helenius and Charr before he steps up against a top 10 guy. No need to rush Dubois, he's still so young. Just step up gradually in quality of opposition with each fight.
The WBA was very much fragmented during Ali's time, thus the creation of the WBC and post Ali, The IBF and WBO. That you need four sentences to defend something that is obvious, would suggest otherwise... And finally, to be undisputed champion you need to retire, because the moment you fight, your claim is being disputed, thus you are not undisputed! Do not waste your time talking tired clichés; I have seen your posts, you know your boxing and thus you do not need the WBA or any other organisation to tell you who is the best, and who are champions.
