BBC Sport - WBO refuse Nathan Cleverly v Robin Krasniqi bout
The WBO are screwing someone over again. Poor Cleverly and Warren are trying to fight an amasing contender in Krasniqi. Who has defeated such boxers as Hakim Zoulikha and Abdelkahim Derghal who you probably havent heard of but with names like theres they must be really good.
Krasniqi is undefeated in 24 fights. The last five fighters have a combined record of 70 wins and 50 losses so they have won way more than they have lost.
In my opinion such a guy is worthy of a WBO title. Why wont they santion it and do there job.
Warren was hopeing this fight would take place to line up a super fight with the winner of Hopkins Dawson. If Cleverly beats this guy he deffinately deserves a shot against one of those two.
Poor Cleverly and Warren. What is the world of boxing coming to.
Yes he probably is , but as you indicate the WBO isnt a world title , its a fucking joke.
Cleverly isnt a real world champion , just like Steve Robinson wasnt.
How long is Cleverly going to fight british and euro standard fighters ? in so called world title fights.
Cleverly is mouthing off to much and doing nothing.
I think the fighter makes the belt rather than the other way around these days.

For example Chavez jr is the WBC "world" champ but everybody in boxing knows that he is avoiding Martinez and the WBC are playing along with it.

To say Robinson was not a world champion is unfair.He won the belt on 2 days notice but I know it was vacant and not against a highly world rated fighter.But in his 7 title defences Robinson beat good world rated featherweights like Hodgkinson,McMillan and Mckensie who I know was coming up in weight. Robinso was also unlucky that he was forced to fight Naz who at the time could beat any feather weight in the world.
