    Hilarious that anyone can just pick and chose which board of control to use. Glad this fight is being made though.

    Why is it hilarious? Sportsmen should have choices. The BBBofC is arrogant to think they can control what fights happen, especially in foreign countries.

    Seems like not even the BBBof C is arrogant enough to turn down big money.

    Apparently Ricky Burns v Kevin Mitchell and Povetkin v Rahman on the undercard as well!

    Damn. The hype is going to be huge and it may just be a decent fight. Still, it also feels a tiny bit opportunistic and pathetic. WWE thy name is War.ren.

    Nah, it can take place in the UK under the Luxembourgish board. The BBBofC are stuffed. :lol:

    The BBBoC will not be involved even if it is in London. The Luxembourg commission will control the fight. Don't know how they can do that, but it seems they can. Total bush-league style ****.

    Just because its in London doesnt mean it is the BBBof C sanctioning it. Sauerlands German cards are sanctioned by the Austrian Comission, and two fights here in Denmark have been sanctioned by the Austrian Comission as well. Free trade laws. Likely the newly created Luxembourg Comission that is sanctioning it.

    So basically, all commisions have **** all to say, right? :lol:

    You can always go to the other one and do whatever the **** you want.

    Hmm. Read that it was created recently :think

    Oh well, "recently" can be understood in many ways :yep Though the article I read was probably just wrong then.

    Also looks like the fight will be for the WBO International belt.
