WBSS II 3rd weight division announced: Cruiserweight

Confirmed this afternoon. Who do we think might go in? Tabiti? Lebedev? Maybe some of the same boxers as last time? I wouldn't mind seeing Gassiev, Breidis or Dorticos have another shot.

 

With no belts on the line. Eh.

 

Assuming Usyk/Bellew are gonna move up to HW this is great

Means the division won't go back into obscurity.

 

id like to see Lawrence Okolie in there!!

 

They aren't though Bellew wants the fight at Crusier for all the belts. So basically this time the tournament it's gonna be for nothing.

 

Disaster! No wide TV audience for this competition. Only good for boxing fans like me.

 

Dorticos has agreed and Briedis, I hear too.

 

This competition will do good ticket numbers but not viewing numbers. It will be bomb on DAZN and others.

 

I don't like this idea. The viewing numbers will mean that, they won't do another cruiser weight competition for another 2 years. No one will watch this in US, bunch of European fighters fighting, hell no.

 

Plenty of excellent fights at that weight still. Fine by me.

 

I'd like, Lebedev, Briedis, Dorticos, Tabiti, Gassiev, Vlasov, Glowacki, Egorov

 

I'm sure they're going to manufacture some new belts so no worries.

 

Well, this time it's on DAZN, at least.

 

There's a chance the belts will all be vacated by the time the semis and final come up. Maybe the ABC orgs will put their vacant titles into it to be fought for. Makes sense, which means it probably won't happen then Lol.

 

Cheeky monkeys, double-dipping. Hard to blame them, however, cruiser is turning into a goldmine. (imagine telling someone that 15 years ago!)
