Josh Taylor has already left two of his four championship belts vacant. But not one of them, which seemed obvious in theory, can not yet claim Regis Prograis (27-1, 23 KOs). The 33-year-old boxer makes no secret of his irritation with the world's sanctioning organizations.
The Scot first left his WBA belt vacant, and yesterday also the WBC. And although Prograis was already the WBA super lightweight world champion, and after a slightly lost unification bout he returned with three early victories, neither the World Boxing Association nor the World Boxing Council appointed him as a contender for the fight for the vacant trophies.
"Very interesting. Explain to me please. Answer me. How is it possible that two fucking championships are now vacant and I'm not fighting for either of them? it's just bullshit. What the hell is going on? Are you seriously? Why am I not fighting for one of them? it's just crazy. Senseless crap. I do not even know what to say. Someone explain to me," Prograis tweeted to his fans.
