    Because it looks like Zurdo Ramirez is staying at 175 afterall, Warren wants the mismatch between Billy Joe Saunders and Shefat "insufficient" Isufi to be for the full WBO 168 belt, instead of an "interim" title.

    It already would have been if Gilberto hadn't denied dropping the belt, so it initially seemed that the ridiculous fight wouldn't be for the vacant strap. But it seems all bets are off again, and the 41 to 1 mismatch between the former 160 beltholder and the guy nobody but his mom had heard about before this fight was mentioned, might actually be for a full blown WBO "world title".

    FFS, trash fight. That'll follow with some trash WBO defenses as well

    Urgh, wish they would stop talking about this garbage!

    Even an interim title massively flatters this fight..

    hate or love FW and BJS, after being stripped this is probably the most sensible way to get back to holding a belt

    Warren controlled the smw wbo belt for years
    Shouldn't be much of a surprise

    Billy is becoming just a wbo trinket holder

    Ummm
    But he at least dared to travel against a prime lemieux

    Not a shot to shyte nearer 50 yr old lemi than claim it something it weren't

    He would need to pass the same drugtesting again if he would face Andrade, and he got offered to fight a pushover for a vacant belt, that later turned out not to be vacant, or maybe be vacant afterall.
    Think it's about taking the easy path without having to take the short money.

    Cant blame Warren for wanting that can we?
    Easy title and he then has another world champion to promote
    Let's face it BJS is not easy to sell without a title
