The whole IBO/Eubank charade is embarrassing

to be fair, his dad brandished the 90s wbo-rthless one which meant fcuk all at the time, although Snr did grab a proper belt later and more to the point had some illustrious fights.

He knows its fake,its about making money off his Dads name and being of the kind of character that has never cared for being genuine. The guys probably a total dyck, you wouldnt trust him to walk your dog with that kind of non-existent integrity.

 

I hear you
it's extremely misleading but fighters and promoters can use that label to draw in crowds and promotional $$$
felix sturm is a classic example - 4 time 'world champion' who maintained a lucrative contract with german TV so long as he held a belt, and he made a lot of $$ by never fighting a top MW in his life (though he certainly lost to some ordinary fighters)
witrhout one federation, boxing is a mire of corruption and shameless misinformation

 

Australia's very own Danny Green is prob the best example. If you read his wiki page you'd think he was a legit 4 time world champ when the truth is he wasn't.

 

exactly
he doesn't live far from me, but i'm not the kind of person to turn a blind eye to a fighter's achievements (or lack of) because they are local
green was a decent cruiser, but that's about it

 

I'm told he genuinely took it to a concert with him. Awful.

 

Reminds me of Danny Jacobs walking around New York with his wba belt.

 

he did , theres pictures of him with it with Drake, Kendrick Lamar etc. i was having a look at the belt and just looks so cheap and fake...quite apt

 

He had to promise his dad that he would return the belt before 11pm that night.

 

He he no way isn't that just something a total nob head would do lol?
They should of given him a giant golden pen lol

 

Him and his dad are the biggest cringebags in boxing. Desperate to convince everyone he is world champion, even casuals aren't buying it. The fact he is bringing the belt everywhere is hilarious, literally no self awareness, it's comedy gold.

 

yeah that is something a total nob head would do....thats why Eubanks doing it, its fitting

 

if i had one of those ibo blts i'd hide it in shame, not joking.

 

Sr was on TalkSport late last night, he was directly asked if the IBO title was a main title or one to be taken seriously and his reply was along these lines....

Governing bodies don't matter, the fighter makes the belt not the other way around.

That was Sr's take on it, so basically now Jr holds the IBO title it's a great title.
