To facilitate the announcement of the FBA's opening card, I will announce the Heavyweight division despite the Bantamweights not being complete yet. It should be done within the next few days, but I'm hoping to get guys talking with the announcement of actual fight cards...I think the bouts will spark more talk than just listing the organizations.
Without further adieu, I present the Heavyweight division organizations...note the prominent name who will start in the WBO, and he's none too pleased about it.

Expect to hear from Mr. Lewis in the not too distant future. He feels the organizations didn't want to offer him his true value, and found himself a man without a home when each ended negotiations. Now Lennox will be looking to make an example out of the WBO contingent and prove his worth.
