By Jim Dower: The March 11 fight between heavyweights Odlanier Solis and Manuel Charr will not be for the interim World Boxing Association heavyweight title. There was news that the Charr-Solis fight would be for the interim WBA title, but the WBA won’t be sanctioning that fight for the interim title.
The WBA already has a mess with Anthony Joshua fighting Wladimir Klitschko for the WBA Super World heavyweight title on April 29, and Fres Oquendo fighting Shannon Briggs for the WBA World heavyweight title. That fight still doesn’t have a date. There will be two heavyweight champions for the WBA soon.
