RIP LEVAN

Levan’s Temporary Title Vacancy

After the press conference, Levan (the current super-heavyweight World #1 / lineal champion referenced in the video) announced that he will:

• Vacate his #1 title temporarily
• Not pull matches in December
• Rest until next year

Because the belt requires an interim holder, the league and participants discussed an interim-champion path.

Interim-Champion Path and Devon’s Decline

Devon Larratt was invited to the stage as the current #2 under Levan, but he declined the interim title for now. His reasoning:

• His next two scheduled matches are at 115 kg
• He likely wouldn’t be able to defend an interim super-heavyweight belt appropriately

Devon suggested that others should fight for the interim title instead, and specifically proposed that:

• Vitaly Liletkin should get the right to challenge via an eliminator

Robert’s Confirmed Structure (December Setup)

Robert (announcer/league-side) confirmed the structure as follows:

• Vitaly will face the winner of Kamil vs. Giorgi, who fight tomorrow.
• The winner of that bout will then challenge for the interim #1 / world title in Las Vegas in December.
• The stakes were emphasized as especially significant for Giorgi Shvangiradze and Kamil Zablonski, who appeared highly energized to win.

Additional Promotional/Banter Segments

The video also includes extra promotional/banter segments (including references to roles and the title being “in the ether”), but the core update centers on the December interim-title challenge setup, culminating in:

• Vitaly vs. the winner of Giorgi / Kamil
