Canelo vacates WBA 168 belt

[Golden Boi 360]

❌👑 Appears Canelo Alvarez has now vacated the WBA 'regular' super-middleweight title he won from Rocky Fielding. Eddie Hearn previously mentioned that he wanted to make David Lemieux vs John Ryder for the belt on the undercard of Canelo vs Jacobs, May 4th.

Not surprising.

David Lemieux vs John Ryder for that belt is LAUGHABLE! WTF?

[Eastlos]

Golden Boy owes Lemieux a belt after feeding him to prime GGG back in the day this should make them even.

agree with sicko on this. Pathetic.

Didn't the WBA said they'd plan on eliminating all these super champions and super duper champions?

Callum Smith is the real champion and was the real champion before the Canelo-Fielding "fight".

He should have gone for a fight against Gilberto Ramirez @ 168. Think that would have been a very do-able win for Canelo, as well as a "big Mexican" showdown.

I would be down for that

Top rank aint trying to do business with anyone but in house or smaller promoters or 100 guranteed win fights.


Canelo dropping the belt is just part of the master plan.

No it isn't. The WBA regular is a paper title anyway. Its only right that someone like that should have it. Ideally they would eliminate it but it doesn't look like that will happen.
