    The WBA Championship Committee has ordered Shannon Briggs (60-6-1, 53
    KOs) and Fres Oquendo (37-8, 24 KOs) to commence negotiations to fight
    for the WBA regular heavyweight title. Both sides have 30 days to come
    to an agreement or a purse bid will be ordered. Currently, the title is
    vacant. Originally, Lucas Browne was supposed to face Briggs, but Browne
    was removed after testing positive for a banned substance for the
    second time. Oquendo is in the WBA heavyweight title mix due to a court
    order. Plans call for the Briggs-Oquendo winner to face Alexander
    Ustinov next.


    I thought for a second my browser was loading a 10 year old page stuck in its cache.

    What's worse, both of them were has-beens ten years ago too.

    Oquendo had just list to ancient Holyfield and his title fight had been three years earlier.

    As for Briggs, he had just made an improbable comeback by defeating Liakovich through is asthma-attacks and went on to huff through a lopsided decision loss against Ibragimov

    Honest to God, I'd rather watch Chris Brown-Soulja Boy than this.

    I was trying to think of what huge fight was out there when I clicked. Yes, I laughed before I finished the first sentence.
