Max Kellerman’s Boxing Title ‘Cancer’ Opinion Dates Back 27 Years

Broadcaster Max Kellerman revealed that his strong opposition to boxing's major sanctioning bodies dates back 27 years to the controversial 1999 draw between Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. Speaking on Ring Champs with Ak & Barak, Kellerman stated he respects none of the four sanctioning bodies, describing them as symptoms of a wider cancer caused by fragmented championships.

Phil Jay argues that while Kellerman's criticisms have merit, his alignment with Dana White's Zuffa Boxing raises questions about his independence. Jay writes that completely replacing traditional sanctioning bodies could potentially disregard decades of championship history and diminish the legacy of past boxing legends.
