He does not need the belt? Then strip him so others who need it can fight for it.
Way too many prima donnas in this business.

Oh ok, I see. Mike Coppinger was one of those sources that reported. Coppinger sent out tweets about it earlier.

Coppinger is a cuck. He jerks al while Kieth idec swallows.

Yikes! Everybody from all sides are coming down on Canelo right now.

Because he's not the property of an old rich white man or gifting them like Mayweather.

IBF is definitely the Best organisation. They follow the rules and don't make ****** belts like "super" or "Franchise".

Thank God..

Although a lot of fans will be satisfied at hearing this news, the recent past shows that the IBF is making it incredibly difficult for unified or undisputed champions to hang on to their belt for very long.

Just like the WBA and WBC have multiple titles in a single weight class, the IBF in the last couple of years has been overly strict in vacating not just title holders, but if you check the IBF ratings, almost every first AND second rated contenders in EVERY weight class is vacant.

This is how the IBF (IMO) is squeezing more money out of promoters for sanctioning fees. It can also order more attractive fights by stripping inactive fighters and thus it looks as though they are doing the right thing but it's just virtue signalling.

Most fans will remember Terence Crawford v Indongo for the undisputed 140 - pound championship; barely two weeks had passed and the IBF was threatening to strip Crawford if he did not fight their mandatory.

As mentioned in the article, they did a similar thing to Golovkin, and are operating randomly with other fighters, depending on whether they pay sanctioning fees, as some promoters, fighters/teams will refuse what they view as excessive demands by the IBF.

The WBO and IBO (again IMO) are probably going to eventually start playing catch -up as it is a highly competitive business model.

If you still think the IBF is an upstanding organisation, remember it did away with same-day weigh-ins as a compulsory requirement to fight for its title not long after the Golovkin v Jacobs fight, as Jacobs forfeited his right to claim the title by skipping the weigh-in and thus the fees.

I would look forward to a GGG v Derevyanchenko fight, but I get the feeling Golovkin is still too hot for Canelo and will be pushing his new promoter to get that third fight ASAP as long as it's outside Vegas.

The plot thickens!

IBF is definitely the best of the corrupt alphabets
