    I can understand keeping the WBA/IBF/WBO belts as they are 3 of the 4 main sanctioning bodies . . . . but the IBO? is it really worth paying to keep something nobody else seems to care about?

    No one really cares about any of the belts anymore thanks to Wlad. WHat good are they when you can fight bums and tomato cans and keep them? This duck by Wlad is my point. ANd hell Vitali has not fought in over a year and he still has the WBC belt.

    Who is Wlad ducking?

    Povetkin has ran from him from day one and now wants Russian doping instead of German, its ****ing Pac-Mayweather all over again

    Fury gave up his IBF Mando spot

    Pulev should be fighting in an IBF eliminator soon

    Adamek is going down hill

    Hes already beaten Haye and Thompson

    Stiverne is getting ready for Vitali, Price got KTFO, Solis is FAT,

    Only person you can make a case for is Chisora, but he had his chances against Haye, Fury and Vitali and now has another against Malik Scott

    It's just another trinket to keep in the Alphabet soup.

    I find it highly unlikely they charge him much (if anything) to keep hold of the belt, as it probably provides them with a little more recognition.

    Wlad ducked Povetkin and theres nothing you can say to change that face. All this false **** you all are making up about Russia is not an excuse. Wlad ducked Povetkin because K2 lost the bid and he has no control. Wlad likes to fight bums but he also likes to be in control. Wlad is a greedy fraud.He wants to make lots by fighting bums in Germany. Povetkin is just to big of a risk with K2 not controling things so he will duck Povetkin.

    IBO is better than WBC and WBA half the time anyway.

    I seem to recall that Lewis held the IBO strap for years, it seems to be attached to the main belts! It's good for the IBO so i doubt they charge Wlad much in the way of fees...

    Pretty sure that the IBO don't enforce mandatories.
