The World Boxing Association (WBA) Championships Committee has ruled that the super lightweight title, which was held by Josh Taylor, is now vacant. The WBA had ordered the mandatory fight between Taylor and the first-ranked boxer Alberto Puello. They had 30 days to reach an agreement after which the bout went to purse bid where only TGB, Puello’s promoter, submitted a bid. Taylor never agreed to the fight, and according to WBA rules, the belt was vacated. Puello will now fight a new opponent for the belt.

Poor Jack catterall
WBA pulling another BS move
It’s stuff like this that makes being an undisputed champion for any length of time these days virtually impossible. He got his one fight as undisputed champion, like Usyk got his and Canelo may get his, but that’s it. Time to move up.
they are pulling this shit because hes not a big name like Canelo
If your mandatory is only good for a couple hundred thousand in a purse bid, your ranking system is probably not too good.
Subriel Matias pleeeease !!
