Bernard Hopkins has been reinstated as WBC light heavyweight champion by the WBC in the wake of Saturday's bizarre fight with Chad Dawson in which Hopkins was ruled a second-round knockout loser.
The WBC changed the decision to a technical draw and gave him back the title.
While he gets the belt back, the result is not "official" because only the California commission can report "official results" to Fight Fax (boxing's official record keeper), but the upshot is that Hopkins gets the title back.
The result may be changed "officially" by the California commission pending the hearing scheduled in a few weeks.
Fight has been ruled a technical draw.
