    Has Eubank Jnr vacated the belt?

    I thought he was holding onto this bauble

    Eubank actually turned down the fight with Khomitsky

    Boxrec shows his fight on 24 October is a WBA Interim defence

    2 Interim champions - maybe they could then meet and unify the Interim belt!!!

    Maybe Jr gets upgraded to "regular" champ in his next bout, like what they did with Quigg.
    But who cares... those 2nd and 3rd rated WBA belts don't mean anything.

    All the more reason to acknowledge the one Brit who was a round away from stopping him. Nicholas Blackwell esq.

    Think it's time to relegate the WBA to IBO/WBU status

    Haha, a super, a regular, and now two interim world champs. The WBA just need to find a 'champion in recess' to complete the set.

    Apparently Eubank/jeter winner gets stripped after that fight, after that this fights winner becomes the interim champ, so basically it's the wba interim world champion in recess belt.

    Their reasoning is because of Eubanks inactivity, yet ward hasn't defended his belt for nearly 2 years and nothing taken away, Rigo hasn't defended his belt since December and still has his etc etc

    Yep, WBA making rules up when they go along. Certainly the Ward situation is laughable

    Alfonso Blanco won on points last night. He will be appointed WBA Interim Champ on 25.10.15

    If Eubank Jnr wins on 24.10.15 he has to vacate due to inactivity

    Only in boxing

    So Jeter would get stripped because of Eubanks inactivity? Makes sense.
