Well, I've seen a letter of BBBofC

"I write to confirm that the BBBofC will be in a position to issue authorisation documentation for Liam Smith tomorrow morning".

Later, a promoter has sent a letter saying that he wants to add two bouts to his card. One of them:

Liam Smith vs Marian Cazacu (middleweight)

This card is going to be celebrated in a small gym but... the owner is a friend of Gallagher. A training for Smith? Word is crazy? Other Liam Smith? Solution is coming soon.

Yeah there was rumours he (Fury) was going to fight Carlos Takam over 12 rounds behind closed doors.

I think it happened in the 90's etc when the European title had rules on coming off of a loss you'd see guys taking knockover jobs to get a chance to challenge for title etc.

Back street Barcelona against a journeyman in secret with about 10 people watching.

Pretty sure Joe G had Mayweather aspirations after post Canelo. Quite the tumble downwards for Greyhead.
Back street Barcelona struggling with a bum while dully gets back from two weeks in Mayweather's gym in Vegas.

It's all about levels.

In the same card, Fahad Al Thani also fought. Al Thani is a David Haye's friend, and part of the Qatar Royal Family. He's trained by... Ismael Salas (Linares' trainer, for example, and Liam Williams talks about his gym in the article). Al Thani's fights are... "dramatic"; someday, the purse of the opponent will be retained.

To be fair an interim title is very significant (rather than prestigious obviously) as it puts the winner in a very strong position with the WBO.
