Ouch! The sanctioning body doesn’t care that they’re tarnishing everyone in some shape or form.
No matter how much integrity a boxer has, they almost all end up getting soiled by a promoter or a sanctioning body. Unless, they can afford NOT to make decent money boxing that is or fight in a division currently being ignored by the powers that be.

these guys are just pure scum. multiple belts in the same division aren’t enough. they just upgrade and downgrade boxers to fight for the same belt based on who has the fight scheduled now. the reason, of course, is to have twice as many fees as they would have if only 1 man held 1 belt. if this was tank or canelo, no worries. guys like that could go 3 years without mandatory fight and not be stripped.
for the record, i respect nonito, seiya, takuma, antonio and daigo (boxers involved in this mess). seiya’s performance against takuma is my favourite in the last few years. i like fights like that the most. he gave his all (heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears).
suddenly, wbo is a respectable organization compared to wba and wbc.
