The World Boxing Council has stripped Terence Crawford of his super middleweight title, revoking his claim as the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world. Crawford unified all four major belts (World Boxing Association, World Boxing Council, International Boxing Federation, World Boxing Organization) in his win against Canelo Alvarez in September, becoming the first boxer to become undisputed champion in three different weight classes in the four-belt era. He retains the three other major belts.
The WBC claimed that Crawford has failed to pay mandatory fees to the sanctioning body despite multiple communications sent to him and his team. Hamzah Sheeraz (22-1, 18 KOs) will fight Christian Mbilli (29-0-1, 24 KOs) for the vacant title.
