IBF heavyweight tournament is a disaster

• The IBF has ordered a four-man box-off to find the next mandatory challenger for heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Initially, it called for Denis Boytsov to face Jean-Marc Mormeck in one semifinal and Alexander Dimitrenko to meet Jonathon Banks in the other semifinal. The winners would meet to earn a shot at Klitschko. However, Dimitrenko and Boytsov have declined to participate. The IBF went down its rankings and Eddie Chambers accepted the fight with Mormeck. A purse bid is scheduled for Tuesday, but Mormeck may also decline to participate because of a potential fight against former champ Hasim Rahman that is under. If Mormeck looks elsewhere, the IBF would go further down its rankings. Klitschko brutally knocked out Chambers in the 12th round in March in a mandatory fight.

Wladimir might end up having to give Eddie Chambers an unwarranted rematch, will these sanctioning bodies ever learn.

I find this hilariously funny. The fighters now at HW suck so much and also add the fact no one likes to fight, its leads to rematches from past fight mis-matches.

Yeah, what a shitty division

haha. we talk about certain fighters at lower weights ducking people but this is so blatant. these fighters are terrible and have the chance to make a huge payday and they just deny it.
