    And why not?
    It's just another belt.

    Wladimir Klitschko: “I compare the IBO rankings to how things are done in tennis. People can look at those rankings and check out where one guy relates to another and check out how many points they have. I’m glad to be at the top of the ratings and I’m proud to be holding their belt.”

    Exactly. And the IBO is one of the first belts Wlad won beating Chris Byrd in 07. Think their is some sentimental value too.
