    Finally some sanity

    I hope the WBC show common sense otherwise their own credibility tanks.

    Agreed. Nothing should stand in the way of Bivol-Beterbiev.

    Hope this is true, there are zero excuses left to avoid the undisputed fight, it needs to happen in 2023.

    Couldn't agree more. Or maybe 2 belts at each weight so we will get the big, exciting unification fights. But yeah, 1 governing body, minimal promoters and XYZ 'businessmen' getting in the way. When this happens, satan will be skating to work.

    Good fight, Callum Smith started to box more aggressively, but still Beterbiev should win this one...

    If Hearn had been Beterbievs manager/promoter he would have been offered the Undisputed instead of back to back mandatory’s but as Hearn is Bivols manager it’s a totally different story. Hearn quite happy to let Bivol do his thing whilst Beterbiev ages out as well as two potential chances for him to get beat or take some damage in these fights,the icing on the cake for Hearn would be for Beterbiev to lose to one of them which is very unlikely but Hearn will be hoping .

    Beterbiev should just drop WBC and fight Bivol anyway. More money and still winner takes 3 belts. Whoever wins can KO Callum Smith afterwards to become undisputed.

    I don't know in Smiths's last fight he did look allot better than when he fought both Ryder & Canelo but Yarde himself is also very game & strong at that himself,

    Either way that is more of an intriguing fight amongst them two rather than Beterbiev vs either.
