The IBF won't sanction GGG-Vanes. Title will be stripped if the fight proceeds.

IBF will force a purse bid next. I'm glad since I don't care for GGG vs Canelo II.

Clenelo rematch is the best fight to be had in the division who else presents a bigger threat to GG ?

Charlo, Derevyanchenko, Saunders, Jacobs.........

IBF says Gennady Golovkin could be stripped - could be stripped, not will strip...

I've been told (by both sides) that the IBF did not tell Tom that it would "likely" strip GGG if the Vanes fight happens. They could, but it's not "likely." Lou's point is that Derev wants next, after May 5, if Canelo is suspended. And that's fair.

The IBF would be wrong to strip GGG given the circumstances. If they think the fight is a gross mismatch and don't want to sanction it as the WBA did with the Kell Brook fight, that's totally understandable. But not sanctioning does not = stripping.
