With WBC bridgerweight champion Oscar Rivas out of action indefinitely with a detached retina, the WBC Board of Governors have designated him as “champion in recess” and voted in favor of the following resolution to immediately address the status of the bridgerweight division:
To order #1 Alen Babic vs #3 Lukasz Rozanski to fight for the vacant title with a 50-50 split and the winner committed to comply with two mandatories. The first mandatory against the winner of the final elimination between Ryad Merhy vs. Kevin Lerena.
To order #2 Ryad Merhy vs. #4 Kevin Lerena to fight a final elimination fight with a 50-50 split and the winner fighting vs. the new champion with a 60-40 split in favor of the champion.
The WBC starts a free negotiations period for both fights. If no agreement is reached a purse offer will be held in Mexico City on Tuesday January 31.
Rozanski – Babic will be bombs away. That will be a really good fight. If it plays out like all of this, I might pick Merhy to be the last man standing.
For a second I thought it was Rozicki fighting the Savage. I got excited. Rozicki is from Sydney NS where I grew up. I do not know about Rozanski. I would have loved to tell my buddy that a dude from Sydney was fighting the Savage.
I think Rozicki went all the way back down to cruiserweight, Pete. Probably a pretty good idea for him, although he would have a shot against Babic because he isn’t too hard to find is Babic.
Babic is very limited, but, boy is he fun to watch!!! I’ll pay to see it!
Babic may become a world champ.
Boxing has sunk to the level of having a bridgerweight champion in recess?
GOOD JOB BY THE UNITED INDIAN NATION to give Johnny Rice the win he deserved!!! We need more like them!!
