Comments Thread For: DiBella Believes Fana Should Be Stripped of IBF Title

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBF junior lightweight champion Mzonke Fana is walking on a thin line. He recently withdrew from his June 11 mandatory defense against Argenis Mendez. In a strange one, Fana claimed that he didn't have a trainer and was basically running a "one man" training camp. But Fana's manager, Butityi Konki, claims the boxer never signed a contract because he wanted more money. Lou DiBella, who promotes Mendez, believes the IBF should do the right thing by stripping Fana of the title.

Lou if you fail so miserably at finding Martinez a suitable opponent that he ends up fighting Williams again, I'll be really mad

Dibella should be the last person to request that a fighter be stripped. Berto avoided his mandatory for 2 years!!

HA - good point! However, I do like Argenis Mendez a lot and I'd love to see him fight against Jason Litzau for the vacant title. It's about time the IBF title left that stranglehold in South Africa.
