    Luis Ortiz v Lateef Kayode on a Golden Boy show in Las Vegas on Friday night.

    I thought Chagaev v Oquendo was bad enough. Does the winner get a belt? Does he tell his kids that he is World Champ?

    Surely tho once whoever wins that world champ belt they would gave the same negation power as Wlad?

    I.e fight on his terms, at his home venue etc etc

    U all know what I'm getting at!

    The WBA should be disregarded, they have devalued their full belts immensely with these silly titles

    The amount of belts in boxing is a farce.

    The WBA should be shut down or completly overhauled it's amazing you could have a situation with 5 WBA champions
    WBA Super
    Unified Champion
    WBA Regular
    WBA Interm
    WBA in Recess
    what a farce of an organisation IBF is the best run and most legit body in boxing.

    Fair to many belts, its a joke. And if you have regular titles they should at least be made mandatory for Super Champ or be stripped. Don't blame fighters for taking these fights though

    Indeed, don't mind something like a silver belt and a bronze belt but having three different types of 'world champion' is a pisstake. At most have the main champion and a 'junior' one who has to fight the actual champ next up

    The Golden Boy publicity material shows it as the vacant WBA. No mention of Interim in the banners.

    Not like that :nono
    He's a clear "next savior of the heavyweight division", and we should all get behind him (believe me, there's enough room)
