Promoter Don King says the WBA is dragging its feet in sanctioning a fight for WBA Continental Americas middleweight champion Ian Green for November 4 at Casino Miami Jai Alai. King originally paired Green with Mark DeLuca (30-4, 18 KOs) but the WBA has not yet given the final go ahead for the title fight. If the WBA won’t greenlight DeLuca, King wants a rematch between Green and Alexander Castro (12-1, 10 KOs).
“Ian Green and Alexander Castro put on a great blistering performance fight and stole the show as the best fight of the night in June,” said Don King. “Bringing the fans excitedly cheering to their feet on several occasions. That is what the boxing fans want. So let’s return to glory again WBA President Mendoza and give the boxing fans what they want…a return match.”
The WBA won’t sanction a fight???? Come on Don… just increase that sanctioning fee and the deal is done.
Arguing over the Continental Americas title?
I wonder when the last time was that Don promoted a full champion (excluding interim’s, and WBA “regulars” , etc. He has to try and move the Continental America’s, and other minor prospects around with career promises, NABA, etc, etc. Signing with Don is kinda like, um, playing the lottery..haha
