    Why are they advertising this tinpot belt as a "world title"?

    It's bad for boxing.

    Buncey/Lillis need to have a word.

    Remember when Hatton fought N'dou? That was also for the IBO title and was being talked about as if it was a legit belt.The IBO now are basically what the WBO was in the late 80s.

    IBO 'World Title' Headliner wouldnt be shown on Sky these days, let's be honest. Boxnation are slipping the old quality control with this.

    TBH as much as it's annoyance, fights like tonights i couldn't care less what title it is. Good fight! Problem is when Boxnation start having IBO/IBA/WBF titlists and bring over poor poor fighters..

    My main problem was with them advertising it as "World title boxing" on the Sky Planner, and then Rosenthal and co. referring to it was a "world title".

    I certainly do have too much time, but I don't think this is irrelevant.

    The IBO are bad for boxing, simple as that.
