I read the article too and it's akin to Lennox Lewis' situation with the WBA after he beat Holyfield. Technically he wasn't stripped but was forced to vacate because Don King successfully argued in court that Lennox Lewis' agreement to fight Akinwande (as WBA's number one) transferred to Ruiz after Akinwande was dropped from the rankings.

He can’t just drop the belt after signing a contract… you nsb lawyers trying get him sued for breach of contractWhether signed or not, he can just drop the belt and let them deal with it. Once undisputed, we know who the champion is so f the belts. Even if sued, he's not getting anything and may mess up a future fight if he wins the vacant.
Tim, Fundora, Harrison should be the next fights.Comment
