    WBO had refused to sanction his fight against McDonnell as a unification bout.

    So he gave up the belt and is fighting him anyway/

    He said he wants to fight the best fighters regardless of belts.

    Good for you Tomoki...good for you!:good

    I always enjoy when sanctioning bodies get put in their place

    Slowly but surely, that "B" is getting replaced with that same "H" that was there in the first place...

    It would have been nice to unify the belts with Yamanaka, but as long as that fight happens, me no care! Screw the belts.

    Politics seems to suggest that's a no go :(
    More likely to see Iwasa facing one of them or the other

    I know there isn't but...still interesting scenario-
    WBC (Yamanaka)
    WBA Super (Ryo Matsumoto is rumoured to be fighting Payano in the summer)
    WBA regular (Tomoki)
    WBO (Akaho is the #1 contender and will likely fight for the now vacant strap
    IBF "interim" (Iwasa Vs Haskins looks set to be announced)

    If the WBO doesnt respect WBA regular champs then i think thats a good thing. But if thats really the case then why have they not ranked McDonnell in their top 15? If he is just a contender then he should be in there no?
