The Gatekeeper should hold the key to the title
By Darren Munsey: One of the biggest talking points in boxing is the question ‘’is this boxer world class’’? We discuss, we debate but at the end of the day we do not know for sure until the fighter participates in a world title fight. The problem with that is just because a boxer fights for a world title that is far from conclusive evidence that the prospect is truly world class. With the amount of different versions or world title and the massive influence promoters have in the sport getting a world title shot is easier than ever.

This isn’t an earth shattering revelation because few people outside of Haye’s home country of England believe that he is as good as Wladimir or his older brother WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.
