Time to move on to the big stuff. 10 weeks today the biggest fight in British boxing history! Let’s gooooo #FuryJoshua 🇬🇧
“Stay choking on my chewed up bones”
It was Bo that did the chewing - chewed up Caroline and had her hanging on for dear life in the last round of their fight. Almost stopped her.
After @alyciambaum beats her, Bo deserves a rematch with @SduboisC

Can someone please contact the editor or online editor and get this to stop 🤣🙌
It’s embarrassing for a magazine that “used” to report real and honest boxing journalism.
It’s literally being used as legal leverage and propaganda for Turki and his enterprises…
An attorney representing Jai Opetaia says the boxer has “good reason to believe” the IBF’s decision to withdraw sanctioning of his title fight with Brandon Glanton was a “product of coordinated, industry-wide collusion designed to punish him for working with Zuffa Boxing and to deter other athletes from doing the same,” per a letter sent to a sanctioning body president that was obtained by The Ring’s Rick Reeno and @MikeCoppinger.
“Aided and abetted by other sanctioning bodies and promoters, the IBF's action intentionally inflicted (or threatened to inflict) significant financial and reputational harm on Mr. Opetaia. He is aware of messages between high-level executives essentially admitting to the scheme.”

I’m pleased the IBF have sat down on their rules and not sanctioned the fight…
This isn’t a Zuffa bashing exercise but you’d be more on board if they had a bit more respect.
They’ve tried to bulldoze everyone with their pit of money☠️
𝙑𝘼𝘾𝘼𝙏𝙀𝘿.
Jai Opetaia will not defend his IBF World Title this weekend against Brandon Glanton 𝙄𝙁 he contests the new Zuffa Belt.
The IBF have stated any belt awarded by Zuffa would be characterised as a trophy or token of recognition…

How is it nonsensical? Glanton ranked 15th, and in a fight put together by a company openly intending to put the sanctioning bodies out of business.
Second time IBF will have stripped Opetaia for reasons that are nonsensical. #boxing #OpetaiaGlanton

🚨 OPETAIA WILL BE STRIPPED OF IBF TITLE
✅ The IBF has confirmed that Jai Opetaia will be stripped of his world cruiserweight title if he fights Brandon Glanton on Sunday for the Zuffa cruiserweight title.
"The press conference held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, today (March 6) made it clear that the Zuffa World Cruiserweight title would still be contested on March 8. The IBF reserves the right to sanction title bouts alongside other sanctioning bodies that comply with the same mandated regulations followed by the organization."

🥊🇬🇧 OPETAIA TO BE STRIPPED OF IBF BELT💥
The IBF has confirmed that Jai Opetaia WILL be stripped of his IBF belt on Sunday should his fight against Brandon Glanton go ahead.
Instead he would pick up the ZUFFA world championship belt…
DUFFA more like 🤡

The IBF has made the correct decision.
The Ali Revival Act hasn't even gone through yet, so in what world should Zuffa Boxing be allowed to have their own world title which they have sanctioning power over, while at the same time they are also a promoter?
Dana White said in the beginning of this, he wasn't going to recognize the 4 sanctioning bodies and have his own Zuffa belt.
Jai Opetaia knows what he signed up for. Here are the consequences..
When somebody tells you what they're going to do, don't be surprised when it happens..
