    Yes, lately they seem to not have some fightcards listed until long after they are scheduled.

    But the event is co-promoted by Queensberry, so I imagine it will be on DAZN.

    There seems to be mixed information coming from The Ring themselves.
    Originally (9 hours ago), they reported that he had dropped the Ring belt.

    In the latest article (2 hours ago), the Ring reported that he had dropped the org titles but retained the Ring belt.

    It is my understanding that Gassiev should walk into this as the full-fledged WBA champ. The "super" title only exists in relation to other titles and only comes into existence with unification. It is like a quark in string theory. There is no "super" championship to fill.

    Then again, it is the WBA, so it is not like there are real rules.
