Now that Crawford has officially vacated his WBO super middleweight title, the organization has called upon Diego Pacheco and Hamzah Sheeraz to fight for the belt

The WBC on Wednesday stripped its belt from undisputed 168lbs champion Terence Crawford, calling the fighter’s non-payment of sanctioning fees from his last two bouts “a slap in the face.”

In the eyes of the sanctioning bodies, even though Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is no longer the best super middleweight in the world, he is still ranked highly at 168lbs.

Promoter Frank Warren says it’s a “no brainer” that his super middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz fights Canelo Alvarez next, should the Mexican come through Terence Crawford on Saturday.

There’s a new No. 1 contender in the WBC’s super middleweight rankings. The latest ratings update affirmed that Hamzah Sheeraz, is moving toward the front of the line for a title shot at 168lbs.

In this week’s mailbag, Stephen “Breadman” Edwards argues that Mike Tyson’s reign was just as impressive as Larry Holmes, looks into Manny Pacquiao’s chances against Mario Barrios and reflects on recent victories for Hamzah Sheeraz and Katie Taylor.
