Crawford - Madrimov is an excellent fight. Great to have Crawford back and really pleased to see Madrimov get this opportunity.

The WBA situation with Morrell is a scandal. Like the WBC, its primary motivation appears to be to accommodate Canelo's so-called "undisputed" status. It's also a slap in the face to Beterbiev and Bivol. These guys have worked hard, paid their fees and fulfilled their mandatories and deserve to hold all four belts cleanly without 'interim' and 'regular' belts beneath them.

It's way, way overdue some kind of commission held these corrupt sanctioning bodies to account. It's also incumbent on fans - and boxing journalists - to stop promoting their authority and instead look to a credible rankings system like the TBRB.

Charlo’s reps just earning their keep by picking up some free “step aside” cash for their client (and themselves) by invoking the silly “champion in recess” nonsense only to turn around a couple days later and say “no problem” at all with the exact same fight.
