interim champion is above #1. just as regular wba is above interim and #1. they are next in line. i, as everybody should, just ignore interim belts as belts and treat them as mandatories which they are. it would be simple if wbc and wba ordered mandatory fights in timely fashion. but these scum sometimes wait 4 years which is<\/p>\n

Hankey was 20 plus pounds heavier. And Ortiz is the same height as the guys too<\/p>\n

the ibf drop this clause for unifications i think, otherwise we may never see any undisputed guys at all lol<\/p>\n
the rules are too hodge podge, the ibf mean well by trying to make sure guys are around the same weight but it needs a unified all orgs approach and noone seems interested at all<\/p>\n
why not just weight them shortly before<\/p>\n

\u201cNot when agreeing to the fight, no. I\u2019d never fought for an IBF title. I just didn\u2019t know. I was only told by my team a few weeks before the fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet had I known about that clause, hand on heart, I wouldn\u2019t have accepted that fight. I mean, you want to know why guys like Vergil Ortiz<\/p>\n
