    One minute Adam Smith was calling him former world title challenger (WBO)

    The next minute the MC was introducing him as 2 time world champion (WBU)

    Just shows how badly promoters want to sell a fight to thee public. And this is nothing against Eddie Hearn or Takaloo, just thought it was funny

    In reality he's neither a world champion or world title challenger. I agree it's ridiculous.

    It alienates the non-fanatics

    I think we're at the point of no-return because of this ****

    Yeah it was pretty lame... I even took exception to Katsidis being referred to as World Champion in the past when he was only Interim WBO Lightweight etc etc WBU is nowt

    Is it just the UK that announces somebody as a "world title challenger"


    I mean its a loss right ? Then they double it up- "2 time challenger" WTF ?
