Ward no longer WBC champion

the WBC belt is now up for Grabs after Ward was moved to effectively champion in recess, Bika won a final eliminator in February surely someone must fight him for the belt and with Degale(silver champion) and Groves in the top 5 what do you think are the chances they get a shot

Groves/Bika May 25th make it happen.

 

Can't see Groves bothering to fight DeGale again unless the WBC demands it. He already beat him, why do it again for only a little money? There's no value in it for Groves with the way James' career has gone the last 18 months.

We're more likely to see Groves against Rodriguez or Bika, IMO.

 

Think Groves will fight Stieglitz anyway.

 

That's a good fight, I think.

 

Degale/groves 3 make it happen

 

​

I see one guy in this ranking who's sure to fight for the vacant title, but I won't say who. :bart

 

Can they not just give the belt to the winner of Froch-Kessler? Or am I missing something and being amazingly ignorant?

 

Naivety, rather than ignorance.

 

Unfortunately you're missing something.
That's what would be the perfect solution when boxing was managed in a fair and knowlegable way. Wich isn't the case :conf

 

I thought it made too much sense!!!
