(APR 12) For the past year,
WBAN has been reporting to the boxing community the questionable
things going on with the “Official Boxing Records site”
Boxrec.com, and the ABC Commission, in their practices of not
reporting professional bouts for men and women. Even when they
were provided videos, photos, proper documentation, and more.
We published several stories about these issues in the last six
months or so. We will list the stories links at the end of
this story.
WBAN also has throughout the months accumulated many complaints
from the boxing community about what has been going on with
BoxRec (now nicknamed BoxWreck, for obvious reasons.)
This week a Federal Lawsuit has been filed against BoxRec, the
ABC, and many others listed in the lawsuit. Out of a 102-page
lawsuit complaint that was filed, the following are a summary
of some of the contents of that lawsuit:
* BoxRec’s failure to enter the results of the fights complained
of hereinabove is a violation of the Muhammad Ali Act, its
boxing register contract with the ABC and its duty as
professional boxing register.
* On information and belief, BoxRec’s sole reason for its
refusal to include the results of the said events is arbitrary,
capricious, discriminatory, a violation of the Sherman Act as
well as the RICO Act as it is in furtherance of a conspiracy
centered around and/or originating with MTK Global and its
owner, Daniel Kinahan (Read the following).

* More specifically, BoxRec’s refusal to update Ivana Habazin’s
record with the WBC title included is in violation of the ABC’s
Official Record Keeper Criteria (hereinafter also referred to
the “ABC Criteria”), Rule 15, which provides for Boxing Registry
recording of “world title bouts sanctioned by the International
Boxing Federation (IBF), World Boxing Association (WBA), World
Boxing Council (WBC) and the World Boxing Organization (WBO).”
* Another violation is the refusal of BoxRec to update the
records of all of the other European fighters who participated
in the Event, including the late Seb Eubank, and the Georgian
fighters. Id. ABC’s Official Record Keeper Criteria Rule 14.
* An additional violation is the refusal of BoxRec to update the
records of Brazilian fighters (as South Americans) who
participated in the Brazil Event, including the Brazilian
Olympian fighters (Patrick Lourenco and Michel Borges). Id.
* Yet an additional violation is the refusal of BoxRec to update
the records of an American fighter (Layla McCarter) who
participated in the Event. Id.
* Another violation is the refusal of the entry of the results
of fighters issued a federal identification number by the KSAC
(the Brazil Event). See ABC’s Official Record Keeper Criteria
Rule 11(g).
* A final violation is the refusal to include the results of ABC
member supervised events (the Brazil Event supervised by the
KSAC). See ABC’s Official Record Keeper Criteria Rule 3.
* The only fighters possibly not covered by the ABC Criteria’s
guidelines are the African fighters. Other than Denes, who is
African, all other results should have been recorded and are
only not record because of BoxRec’s bad faith, its collusion
with Mendy’s competitors, its failure to follow the ABC Criteria
as well as other rules and regulations applicable to boxing
registers, on belief and information, all in furtherance of the
conspiracy to teach Mendy a lesson and suppress his rise and the
rise of his business, Lion Heart Boxing Productions.
WBAN will keep boxing fans updated on this Federal Lawsuit as we
learn more details.
