Dude hasn't fought at all in 24 and has not fought a HW fight since 21 Not fought or been above 220 since 2015. WBA has Bridger. So, WTF?
Your first problem is even trying to make sense of the WBA ratings......................we don't do that anymore
Hell you ain't wrong, but also we ain't paid for that. This site got some article jockeys. BS an article jockey hub too. Plenty of boxing journalists out there, dudes on youtube and twitter and whatnot. Why do they all suck so bad at their jobs as well? How many articles here, else where, video essays, etc. can be summed up with "Opinion"? That's all boxing new is, opinions being shared on platforms. When they do break something it is broken by official sources and only reprinted or reworked for articles and videos on other sites. Usyk drops the IBF came direct from Usyk while a bunch of "journalists" simply wrote articles around his X post. So, not bothered fans are jaded, but, Kevin Iole, ProBoxTV, Hatman, Cliff Rold( Love you buddy but this is truth) are not worth a **** at what is meant to be their job. That said, let me ask y'all. If I emailed the bodies, called them on the phone, etc., and recorded those interactions and shared them, does anyone care? Does anyone actually want any level of accountability?
I actually hope he beats Joe Luis and Wlad Klitschko and becomes the longest reigning heavyweight champion
The WBA ratings at heavyweight is essentially a list of fighters who have the contacts or cash to obtain a ranking for their fighter. That is all. Once you understand that, it does make sense.
He was declared champions recess and reinstated after Dubois WBA regular championship reign last year. I dont think it can be counted as one championship reign as for couple years he didnt have it
