Tyson Fury And Anthony Joshua Fight For WBA Super Title
The WBA will award Fury and Joshua its Super heavyweight title, a move that sidelines regular champion Murat Gassiev and could reshape the division.
- The Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua bout is scheduled for December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with the WBA 'Super' heavyweight title on the line.
- Elevation of the fight bypasses Murat Gassiev, who became the division's sole belt-holder after Oleksandr Usyk vacated his titles in June.
- Critics argue the designation serves commercial interests for the Netflix event, as the sanctioning body seeks to maximize bout fees capped at five hundred thousand dollars.
- Co-Promoter Ivaylo Gotzev is attempting to reverse the decision, demanding the WBA justify how the 'Super' designation aligns with its rules.
- To maintain credibility, the organization must establish a mandatory deadline for the winner to face Gassiev within six months.
