Do you know what worldwide means?
Japan is a major boxing outlet especially at the lighter divisions where they have champions
WBO came out in the 90s and was recognized as a real back until the late 90's, here in America, it took them all the way up to 2013 to get the WORLD to recognize them
the belt is a joke
Do YOU know what you are saying?
How about this....the IBF was formed in 1983 and wasnt recognized by Japan until 2013 just like the WBO (the WBO was formed in 1988)
What you're saying by saying the WBO wasnt world wide, is that IBF wasnt world wide EITHER until 30 years after their formation
