EBU Suspends the LBF Haye-Chisora now doubtful ?

Ok a side not, if it's cancelled, you lot can all come down for a beer on the 14th, as it's my birthday :conf

 

The EBU strikes back

 

:sad2

 

haha, u wish, he's a tight arse ;-)

 

See! Even HE knows he's crap :yep

 

It doesn't really matter.

The LBF are still surely a EU registered entity in their own right and are able to trade here under EU law....

Not that I'm proclaiming to be an expert or anything

 

atsch :-(

 

:rofl

I expect a shot from every ESB member

And as if I'm a ight arse Lawrence!

 

Who the **** had changed my Avatar?

 

The EBU and WBC are intertwined. It's no surprise.

The EBU face problems of their own in terms on competition now.

 

BoxRec News understands that the European Boxing Union suspended the membership of the Luxembourg Boxing Federation this morning.

It is thought that the suspension will become an expulsion should the LBF sanction the proposed match between David Haye and Dereck Chisora.

It seems like the EBU has given the LBF the chance to think again about their involvement with the fight...or be kicked out of Europe's governing body.

The EBU's Council met in Liege, Belgium last night and their General Assembly is being held today.

One of the main legal justifications for staging the bout as a professional contest was the LBF's affiliation to the EBU, as Frank ****** said when announcing the match on May 8th: "They’re long standing, well established members of the European Boxing Union and all the noteworthy sanctioning organisations."

When on May 9th the BBBoC issued a very forceful statement condemning the move, with the threat that anyone involved in 'facilitating' the promotion would effectively be terminating their membership of the BBBoC (i.e. having no licence), ****** replied in typically robust fashion.

Part of his reply on May 11th read: "Under Rule 4.12 of your own Rules and Regulations, as a licence holder I can participate '(a) in or at a Promotion which is licensed by the BBBofC; or (b) in or at a Promotion organised by a Federation, Commission, Association or Controlling Authority affiliated to, or recognised by the BBBofC'. The Federation Luxembourgoise De Boxe is a Federation affiliated to and recognised by the Board; both are affiliated to the EBU. As that Federation is sanctioning the Haye v. Chisora fight, my participation is not a breach of your Rules."

In his column in The Sun on May 12th, ****** wrote: "The Board even complained to the European Boxing Union but they confirmed Luxembourg were licensed in order to sanction a promotion in another member country. Only recently, a promoter complained to the Board and EBU when James DeGale's fight was won in a purse bid by an Italian promoter and was staged in Denmark on a German promoter's show. I understand he was told there was nothing they could do and EBU rules and law allowed this."

Should the EBU no longer recognise the Luxembourg Boxing Federation, the legitimacy of any promotion they choose to sanction would be severly compromised.

So the EBU suspended the LBF two weeks ago? ****, completely missed that one.
