Here’s a fact Lomachenko got elevated to wbc franchise meaning it’s the super belt. Devin Haney got the regular version of the wbc belt and Teo beat Lomachenko for wbc franchise which again is a higher version of the regular wbc and ESPN marketed as an undisputed event let’s stop the cap
@Metalphan1990
Ай бұрын
@@user-tb9ec2ul4z No the WBC belt Teo had doesn't exist anymore. Devin was elevated from interim to full WBC champion because Lomachenko vacated the WBC belt and the WBC created the Franchise belt for him so he didn't have to fight his mandatory which was Devin. So Teo inherited the Franchise WBC belt when he beat Loma and none of the other sanctioning bodies recognised the belt so it couldn't be unified. The Franchise belt disappeared after Haney unified the real WBC belt against Kambosos titles.
