Is this true?

[ChrisQ]

Yeh I saw it also this morning.

I'm a bit confused though as I thought Steve Mckinnon recently won that title?

[imported_n/a]

I know Ramazan stopped Steve McKinnon in the 4th round and claimed WMC Intercontinental Muay Thai Heavyweight title on December 8, 2007 in Sydney. He hasnt fought him for the WBC

[ChrisQ]

Yep and Steve McKinnon won the WBC Super Cruiserweight title against Ashwin Balrak in Jamaica in June.

[DazMon]

So does that mean the WBC Champions page is outdated?

[ChrisQ]

No it means that either Steve McKinnon has vacated the title (after 2 months of winning it?), the WBC has stripped him, they have made a mistake in offering a title that is not available or the weight class for the Ramazan fight is wrong.
Would have to be one of those...

[tomahawk91]

The only thing i can think of is if Steve Mckinnon vacated it to fight in heavyweight... have no idea unless they made a mistake

[spano]

[nick stone]

Why is there a need for an Interim world title when the Champion is fully fit and willing to fight?

Sounds like an excuse to charge sanctioning fees.

[nick stone]

have been in touch with patrick cusack and he assuses me its not happening, although it seems to be advertised. seems like a mistake.

[ChrisQ]

Thanks for clearing it up Nick.

[imported_n/a]

Nick, is there any talk of a Mac v Rama fight soon?

[scottya]

Like ppl said its not the body title that makes it worth while its the fighter you beat for it

Its sad when they can strip a fighter of a title & leave it open for anther two fighters to fight for the title its crap

[nick stone]

yea russ, talk only at the moment, in november??? not sure yet, supposed to be manilla in sept / oct nothing finalised, also dutch want to match steve in nov too, just waiting on it all really.

[ChrisQ]

Good to see Steve getting some great fights overseas.
