It will- although Bute is a paper champion, Kessler will be a "regular" paper champion. He is not even fighting for the real paper title, but a secondary version of it, that was striped from another fighter.
It's like in the 1980's WWF when the Million Dollar Man couldn't win a real belt he just started wearing the "Million Dollar Title" :a belt he made up.
From Dan Rafael of ESPN.COM/Boxing
So, Anthony Mundine defeated Sam Soliman for the third time on Wednesday to retain his crappy WBA "regular" super middleweight title. Mundine is now expected to vacate the title and Mikkel Kessler is slated to face undeserving Dimitri Sartison for the strap June 21 in Copenhagen. No problem with that really other than this shameful note: Kessler promoter Mogens Palle has been advertising Kessler-Sartison on his Web site as being for the vacant title for weeks -- before it was vacant and ignoring the possibility that Soliman might have won. This entire situation remains thoroughly disgusting. Shame on Kessler and his team and shame on the WBA.
Super Middleweight also acknowledge as Kessler's Kingdom when Calzaghe has retire
Fightnews always fails to mention that it is the "regular" paper title and not even the real paper title.
I would like to see Mikkel Kessler on top of the Super Middleweight rankings, In my opinion since 2005 he was never less then second.
Is that:
a) Because the US has the best and most passionate audiences?
b) Because the venues are the biggest and best for watching boxing?
or c) Because its the only country in the world where people are willing to cough up $50 to watch any old boxing card...enough even to keep John Ruiz in a career....
