    Based on what achievement exactly?

    Hasn't fought at the weight in 4 years, hasn't beaten anyone, even if one overlooks the elephant in the room.........

    0 English titles

    0 British titles

    0 Commonwealth titles

    0 European titles

    No noteworthy opponents beaten

    I shouldn't be surprised by this really

    They’re not even bothering to try to disguise it anymore.

    WBC - ‘Here’s a **** sandwich. Eat it!’

    Why doesn't Jake Paul just buy the WBC heavyweight title? That way he wouldn't actually need to step in the ring with a legit heavyweight.

    Also nothing to do with the fact Barrios is the weakest title holder at 147.

    I hope Barrios chins him, that would be hilarious

    I wish some of the YouTube interviewers would put their Matchroom access pass on the table and actually ask Eddie a challenging question, how did he manage to get this ranking arranged? I mean, the WBC gave Conor a ready made eggs excuse to get him off his failed tests, which is insane. He doesn't even fight at that weight class because of the ban but moves up the rankings regardless. Then finally when he's made a ton of cash against CEJ at middle weight in non-title bouts and is ready for a title shot, he magically jumps to the number one slot against their preferred opponent. The WBC are not even trying to make themselves look legit. Boxing is hilarious.

    Eddie would not have succeeded in boxing if he had to start from the same level of obscurity as Shalom.

    Most cringe part of the Conference so far was Usyk being crowned WBC "King" in a ceremony led by Prince Naseem Hamed (who was pissing himself throughout)
