That 140 tournament is looking fun. Its needed in that division to since Bud left & now its all up for grabs there again. Too bad Ramirez isn't in it (he won't be I don't care if some are suggesting he may be in it, Arum won't let him even if he wanted to be in it).


Isn't there a third division this year? 140, 118 & ???. Whats that division gonna be or rumored to be again?

Kalle said its one of the heaviest 3 divisions

Yup i agree with you on Ramirez. I've seen some mentions of 135 divison but its not confirm so i will not include it yet.

When the WBSS announced Saudi’s had the rights to the final I said it could be trouble as it’s not a boxing country and would look to offload it

Apparently they have sold it to The Russians and Usyk won’t box in Russia for political reasons

Naoya Inoue's (the WBA regular BW champion) next opponent could possibly be the WBO world BW champion Zolani Tete (27-3). This fight could serve as an opening round bout for the WBSS BW tournament.

oh ****, I'm way more interested in this one than 140. People know I'm big on Inoue. Any word on Yamanaka?

Yamanaka retired after Nery knocked him out again.

oh damn, didn't realize he was 35! Still though, surprised since both those Nery fights were suspect (PED fail and then scale fail) I gotta get wth the times! I didn't even realize the WBC stripped Thurman until yesterday

WBC didn't stripped Thurman. Thurman voluntarily give up the WBC belt to focus on recovering but there are su****ions that he may sign with Eddie Hearn.

Man if Usyk-Gassiev doesnt happen then **** Boxing !
