The 50 cent of Boxing

The W.B.U Super Middle Weight World Champion

Scotland's Scott Dixon is now a new "unknown quantity" in the Super Middle Weight division who seems to have come from nowhere and now stands center stage in the division alongside the likes of Froch, Abraham, and Ward to name just a few of the other top names currently holding SMW World titles.
 
This should place him within the top 10 SMW World rankings or even top 5 considering he now owns a World title but that is in the American's hands.

There does not seem to be much fire and inspiration within this division anymore with which to keep boxing fans enthralled with a fighter’s career progression, or add new fans to the sport. It is a division with not much wider appeal at the moment to those outside of the die hard fight fan community. The days of Joe Calzaghe the undefeated W.B.O World Champion with what he brought to the SWM division in and out of the ring have past and the likes of Carl Froch have had British fight fans attention, along with those outside of the sport for a while but Groundhog Day set in and it’s the same old same old although he does sit within the top rankings of the SMW division still and his name is well known within the sport internationally but beyond that who wants to go out of their way to watch his fights?
 
Then you have the W.B.A diluting the division by having a ‘super’ W.B.A World Champion title and a lesser Champion position which is vacant because nobody wants it.  Accusations of paper titles and diluting the sport should be aimed at the W.B.A with that move and it should be called into question and thrown out.

Why would the W.B.A want 2 World title positions within the SMW division?

Who sanctioned that one?

It is Scott Dixon’s personal story in and out of the ring which has led him to the place where he now stands as the new W.B.U SMW Champion of the World, which is a position and title that should replace the phony W.B.A vacant paper title that nobody wants.  This brings a bit of added excitement to the sport and especially the SMW division that he fights in which will hopefully add some much needed fire and inspiration for the future.  There will obviously be grumblings amongst the other SMW contenders out there who do not currently hold a World title, but that is their own personal response.

Scott Dixon is the new W.B.U SMW Champion of the World.

The question is; who thinks they can take his belt from him?  And who wants to try?

Baker Barakat was Scott’s step back into the professional ring and his next fight is his statement.

“Team Dixon” is in place and ready.

Details to follow soon that will bring some added excitement back into the sport in Europe, and across America as the boxing community old and new follow Scott Dixon’s new career progression before he decides he is satisfied with his accomplishments in the sport and retires.  Until then as stated above this is a new "unknown quantity" worth watching to see what he can achieve through his boxing talent and sheer determination within the sport and how far can he go?

This is Scott Dixon’s new chapter in his life so beware those serious contenders inside the Super Middle Weight division.

Call him the white 50 cent of boxing and 50 cent went straight to the top.
