    More like he was instrumental in getting the WBO recognised. He threw his toys out the pram and was going to start his own governing body (that would recognise the WBO) as a rival to the BBBC because they did not want to give him a promoters license and did not recognise the WBO. At the end of the day the BBBC **** their pants and bent over backwards for FW.

    The fighter makes the belt these days with so many top guys in each division holding the iBO.

    I'm less worried about the alphabet situation than I used to be, I think they're becoming more and more marginalised.

    Warren knows that the WBO is as useless as the WBU so now concentrates on that pathetic belt. No WBO champ should ever be called a real world champ and that includes Calzaghe and co.

    It was both actually. There was a time when the only title fights sanctioned on these shores were for the WBC. I, personally, would like to see us adopt the Japanese approach to title fights in that they only recognise WBC and WBA. It would shift the power back away from the sanctioning bodies and eliminate the utter bull**** belts.

    The BBBofC could also threaten to withdraw recognition of those two if they ****ed around too much.

    Don't give him ANY credit for making Enzo-Afolabi or Khan-Prescott, they were both seen as easy fights for his guys before the fight.

    He doesnt have a choice. He signed Khan with SKY. Plus his learnt lessons from his overtly cuatious approach with Hatton and Joe.

    Thats because the IBO belt is always vacant when theres a big fight. Rather coincidental no..
