WBA charges removed from Charr-King lawsuit

The Southern District Court of Florida dismissed charges alleging that the World Boxing Association (WBA) was involved in a lawsuit filed by former world champion Manuel Charr against Don King Promotions. The court dismissed the accusations that Charr’s legal team had made against the organization, based, among other things, on the WBA’s internal rules and the failure to use its mechanisms to make a proper claim in case of having felt affected.

The Southern District Court’s lengthy document explained that the plaintiff could have followed the regular procedures of the WBA’s internal rules, but by not doing so, three charges Charr’s team had filed against the organization were dismissed.

A WBA statement said in part:

The WBA will continue to work with its legal team to always demonstrate the transparency and values of the organization. It will always have its internal rules and mechanisms at the disposal of boxers and anyone involved in the sport to solve problems and impart justice as a sanctioning body with more than 100 years of existence and an unblemished history.

  • Now you’re going to sue them for not following their rules after they allowed you to remain champion despite not fighting for like 3 years??

  • “The court dismissed the accusations that Charr’s legal team had made against the organization, based, among other things, on the WBA’s internal rules and the failure to use its mechanisms to make a proper claim in case of having felt affected.”
    – Rules?
    – We don’t need no rules…..

  • placing the individual case aside, this language is so laughable. You can spot B.S. from a mile away with all of the absolute terms.
    “Always”-used 2X. (WBA makes exceptions to exceptions to exceptions-no regularity demonstrated, despite this 100+ year track record)
    “values” is a misnomer- in their case it’s a “lack of values” or “negative values”
    “anyone” involved in the sport-when in reality they are selective/partial to big names
    “unblemished”-everyone already called that one out.
    Can you characterize garbage or feces as unblemished?

  • The WBA response is the biggest laugh that I have enjoyed this week. Seriously…

  • It’s crazy how world class fighters still sign with Don. when all his dirty laundry with the mafia, robbery, corruption, chucking boxers to the streets when they lose etc. has been totally exposed to the world. Broner is next victim

    • You play a little fast and loose with the term “world class” where Don’s current roster of fighters is concerned, no?
