AN overwhelming majority of fighters will most likely insist that their dream, above all else, is to become a world champion. The euphoria that comes with hearing ‘AND THE NEW’ is, one can only imagine, unlike any other feeling, representing perhaps the purest of moments in an imperfect sport. But while that feeling will always remain consistent, the landscape that has been created by each of the four major sanctioning bodies only ever seems to create confusion.

JARRELL Miller will have more than a ‘diss song’ on his mind ahead of his showdown with Fabio Wardley on June 7.
