New Zealand’s Promoters Duco Events, announced today that they have officially vacated all of their boxers WBA regional titles. Duco is well known for promoting and managing New Zealand Born Samoan Joseph Parker, Australian Jeff Horn and Poland Born Ghanaian Izuagbe Ugonoh.
Confirmed this morning by Duco’s Matchmacker Stuart Duncan, there was no formal announcement. The reason for vacating the titles was due to the lack of progress in the rankings for all three boxers. “We invested into WBA with six titles total for all the boxers, with a promise by WBA that there would be a progress in the rankings” said Duncan. “Since there was no progress and with Parker decreasing in rankings, we had no choice but to vacate the titles and ending out relationship with WBA”.
Parker held the WBA – PABA & WBA Oceania Heavyweight titles, Horn Held the WBA Pan African, WBA – PABA & Interim WBA Oceania Welterweight titles and Ugonoh held the Interim WBA Oceania Heavyweight Title. With vacating the titles, there is an expectation that Parker and Horns ranking in the WBA will either decrease or even disappear.
