Dzinziruk Likely Stripped, Baysangurov-Konecny Looms
According to Francisco 'Paco' Valcárcel, president of the WBO, Sergei Dzinziruk (37-1, 23KOs) is getting stripped of his junior middleweight title. The champion has not made a defense since last May's TKO of Daniel Dawson. He moved up to middleweight and was knocked out by WBC champion Sergio Martinez in March. He was scheduled to face mandatory challenger Lukas Konecny ​​on September 30, but recently withdrew with an injury.
