Stevensons promoter says if the lose the purse they dont care where they fight or what network. That would appear to take out the main issue holding it back
You keep getting it wrong. You are refering to the WBO title, not the lineal title, which Brahmer an Cleverly never held
Imp still gets schooled and looks a fool arguing. DM won the title in the middle of June and would have had to defend the IBF by the middle on July. the WBA was stripped due to being WBO champ and nothing to do with defending the title. Guthrie did get to fight for the vacant title on the 19th July 1997. Not sure what Imp is trying to defend
