    From the Scene moments ago:

    Only a travel visa stands in the way of a heavyweight pairing more than two years in the making.

    Manuel Charr is on target to make the first defense of his secondary WBA heavyweight belt, as he is due to face interim WBA titlist Trevor Bryan in a long-overdue title consolidation match. The fight is tentatively scheduled to take place January 29 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, marking the first event with Hall of Fame promoter Don King as the lead since August 2015.

    Representatives from the Florida State Boxing Commission have confirmed to *******.com that the proper steps have been taken in order to proceed with the event. However, it’s also worth noting that Don King Productions has been down this road several times before in the past few years—including with this very fight—only for such shows to never see the light of day.

    One major hurdle to overcome is having Charr arrive to the United States in time for the fight to take place within the WBA-imposed deadline. The 36-year old Lebanon-born heavyweight is now based out of Cologne, Germany where he awaits word on a travel visa.

    This is the most WBA headline I've clapped eyes on, ever.

    Friday, January 29, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Hollywood, Florida
    • Manuel Charr vs. Trevor Bryan - WBA Heavyweight Title
    • Beibut Shumenov vs. Raphael Murphy - WBA Cruiserweight Title
    • Bermane Stiverne vs. Christopher Lovejoy
    And, since it's in Florida, Shannon Briggs will no doubt be running around.

    Very WBA.

    The WBA should open up their own comedy club. They are simply hilarious.

    What are the odds that - should it happen - the result will be overturned on PED abuse charges?
