    The IBF are the worst organisation in boxing and that really says something

    I genuinely view it as a lesser belt than the others at this point. Paper belt

    IBF is really good at ensuring a fighter doesn’t stay undisputed for too long.

    Unless you’re Canelo.

    I had never heard of a Tombola but the way you worded your post I had a rough idea what you meant. To be sure I had to look it up.


    tombola
    noun
    tom·bo·la ˈtām-bə-lə
    British usually täm-ˈbō-lə

    plural tombolas
    chiefly British
    : a raffle in which usually numbered tickets are drawn at random from a revolving drum with prizes awarded to those drawing tickets that match numbers preassigned to a prize

    Hahahaaaa. You sir are a genius that pretty much sums up how this selection for mandatory looks. Watch out now that we all know how the Deep State makes its important decisions they might try and make us disappear like the guy that invented the engine that runs on water Stanley Meyer……

    Yes basically a raffle. Something like this. The lucky chosen ticket is the new IBF mandatory !

    The IBF really doesn’t like undisputed Champions.

    I think when you've won them you've won them.. doesn't matter if he dumps them now the fact is he'll always be Undisputed.. just sack em off & go to CW...

    Could go the Hopkins and Calzaghe route and just crush a bunch of cans now and have long reign.

    The tangible ' Undisputed ' belt doesn't seem to be gaining attention. I guess we'll see with Usyk - Fury 2. I don't really get it.
    It needs to be the only belt that matters, relegate the rest of the belts as stepping stone titles.

    They want Turki to pull some money cos they know the rematch is most likely going to happen.

    At this point hes the lineal undisputed champion, thats all that matters.

    Dump the rest and just fight for the undisputed belt.

    This.

    If Turki was smart hed start promoting the undisputed belt more as the only belt that matters once its attained.

    I think each sanctioning body is taking it's turn making idiot decisions regarding their belts. Whether that's stripping deserving Undisputed champions almost immediately after they unify all the titles (Crawford & Beterbiev) or allowing certain fighters to babysit their title for years and never enforce anything on them (Errol Spence Jr, Tank Davis, & Canelo). There's no consistency with the titles. I almost feel like eventually they'll have less value in the overall careers of the top fighters as they'll make their $$ regardless if it's a title bout or not
