Bear Hugger Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 The World Boxing Association has confirmed the creation of an eighteenth division in its ranks, joining the World Boxing Council’s bridgerweight revolution. WBA chiefs announced this week despite criticism of the 200- to 224-pound weight class since its inception in 2020. The WBC first approved the abridgment between cruiserweight and heavyweight in 2019. They crowned its first champion a year later when Oscar Rivas took the belt. Since then, it’s been a less than lukewarm reception for bridgerweight despite those struggling to dent against the bulkier heavies. The WBA has now validated the WBC in a move that has solidified the stance of having eighteen divisions instead of seventeen.

Ledhed1 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 The difference between light-heavy and cruiser is still too much. They should put cruiser back at 190 then decide what to do about a division between cruiser and heavy. Above 190 up to 210 would be reasonable.

LondonRingRules Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 --- Now WBC/WBA need to create the BLUBBER Division so poor Fury can win a new belt before he retires in disgrace yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
