Heavyweight Shake-Up: WBA Launches New Super Cruiserweight Division!
The WBA's executive committee has thrown a knockout punch with its latest decision: creating a brand new boxing division! Picture this: a ring where the heavyweights and the super heavyweights used to duke it out, but now there's a fresh contender in town. This new weight class is about bridging the gap – we're talking about boxers who tip the scales between 91.2 kg and 101.6 kg. That's right, no more mismatched brawls with fighters packing a 10 kg difference, which, let's be honest, sometimes looked more like David and Goliath than a fair fight.
Now, this isn't just some wild swing in the dark. The WBA's taking a page out of the WBC's playbook. Remember back in 2020 when the WBC debuted the 'Bridgerweight' division, stretching from 86.6 kg to 101.6 kg? Well, the WBA's stepping into the ring with their own version, the 'super cruiserweight.' And who's the reigning champ of this new turf? None other than Lukasz Rozanski, undefeated with a record that reads like a hit list: 15-0, 14 of those by knockout.
