[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Trevor Bryan and Bermane Stiverne are set to fight, even as confusion lingers over the exact stakes. The pair of heavyweights weighed 267 pounds apiece for their forthcoming fight which headlines a Don King-distributed Pay-Per-View event Friday evening from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

The WBA is just as big of a ****show as King is. Wonder what the "witnesses" had to say about the weigh in and all the blubber bouncing around

Not won a fight for well over 5 years.

Fighting for a title.

holy cow. Bryans weight even more shocking at this point then stivernes. Stiverne looks shot from his last outings but lets see what he has left. Bryan should be quite rusty

[Clegg]

Bryan was 236 for his last fight, 31lb weight gain probably not gonna be for the better

lmao reading all that arcane nonsense in the article regarding the status of the fight as a title fight. The corruption of the WBA and WBC is incredible. Those are supposed to be the two most prestigious orgs yet IMO they're the two biggest jokes out of the big four.

[REDEEMER]

Even matched fight but PPV ? Could be the lowest heavyweight event in history and both guys at 267 pounds ? The Rock vs Coffie fight is just as good if not better and it’s free .

Stiverne by KO.

[VislorTurlough]

Watch King try to get Tyson a world title fight next.

Adding to the fun are a pair of mass emails sent by the WBA to all parties involved, copies of which have been obtained by BoxingScene.com. The WBA sought to address an exception request filed by King to have the sanctioning body demote Charr to “Champion in Recess” which would allow Bryan and Stiverne to compete for the vacant WBA “World” title. A win by Bryan would in turn leave the interim title vacant, while pushing him one step closer to a desired showdown with any of the top heavyweights, including unified WBA “Super”/IBF/WBO/IBO champ Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22KOs).

The first email sent by the WBA indicated that King’s request would be granted. In present form, the winner of Friday’s bout would have been required to next face Charr by no later than May 30, 2021. The ruling would have nullified the results of the purse bid hearing from last March, in which King claimed promotional rights with a $2,000,000 bid.

According to the initial ruling, King would no longer remain on the hook for such payment, which was to have been distributed via 75/25 split in Charr’s favor.

Directly in line with all of the madness surrounding this show, the WBA followed up less than 30 minutes later claiming that the previous email was sent in error and for its contents to be disregarded.

UPDATE (2:07 P.M. ET): WBA HAS OFFICIALLY DECLARED ITS NOW VACANT "WORLD" HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AT STAKE FOR FRIDAY'S MAIN EVENT. MAHMOUD (MANUEL) CHARR HAS BEEN DEMOTED TO "CHAMPION IN RECESS."

They're in complete disarray over there. I've worked at companies like this. They're failing. Begging for any handout, any dime, while trying to maintain relevance and authority.

These vile, wretched subhumans will die the second these promoters pull their teets out of their mouths.

No more milk from daddy!
