	World Boxing Organisation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The World Boxing Organization, or WBO is one of many organizations which sanction professional championship boxing bouts, alongside the WBA, WBC, IBF and a dozen or so others.
		The WBO was founded by Francisco Valcarcel and other members of the WBC, who broke away from the organization following a dispute.
		Despite serious efforts by the organization to be recognized by the public as the "fourth" world sanctioning body for pro boxing over its 15 year history, the WBO has become little more than the "best of the also-ran" organizations, and its championships carry little real prestige.

		Boxing's longest reigning world champion, Joe Calzaghe of Wales, the WBO and IBF super-middleweight title-holder, says Australia's Sakio Bika will provide a tough test in Manchester on Sunday.

		The interview took place on the afternoon of Friday 15th where we were gathered for the latest WBF (World Boxing Foundation) championship fight in Newcastle between Chad Bennett and the challenger Ruben Diaz at the Nova / Panthers Club.

	Boxing: Hamed loses last world belt \| Boxing \| Other Sports \| Sport \| Telegraph
		The self-styled Prince from Sheffield had held the WBO belt for five years but his relationship with the Puerto Rican sanctioning body fell apart over his refusal to box No 1 contender Istvan Kovacs, of Hungary.
		The WBO will inevitably produce a new champion - Kovacs will box for the vacant title - which will add confusion to an already muddled situation, but Hamed has every right to continue his claim to be the best featherweight in the world, belt or no belt.
		He defended the WBO title 15 times, and also held the International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Council titles only to be forced into a situation where he had to relinquish them.

		Welshman Calzaghe, 35, has held the WBO title for ten years but his last mandatory defence, a 12 round domination of American Jeff Lacy, was over a year ago.

		It has become increasingly common for the organisations to have two world champions in one division.
		For example the recent fight between Bernard Hopkins and William Joppy was a contest between the WBA “super” Champion and the WBA “world” champion.

		In November 2001 he came within a whisker of beating the American William Joppy for the vacant World Boxing Association title in Las Vegas but he had a slow start and when he did increase the pace it was simply not enough.

		At stake was the vacant International Boxing Organisation title, but in reality this bout was to decide who is the best featherweight in the world.
		But these can only be slender satisfactions to the boxer who has long told the world that his punching power is a gift from Allah and who had assured us he was in the best shape of his life and ready to “stretch” Barrera.
		There have been what we call miracle finishes in boxing — when an apparently beaten fighter has found a knockout punch with time running out — but there wasn’t going to be one on this night.

		Boxing, perhaps more than any other sport, needs rivalries and one between brothers would be a marketing dream.
