The WBO World Championship Committee has officially stripped Floyd Mayweather of the WBO welterweight title for failure to pay the $200,000 sanction fee, failure to advise the WBO of his position within the WBO welterweight division (despite requesting an extension) and failure to vacate the two 154-pound world titles he holds.
The WBO World Championship Committee is allowed no other alternative but to cease to recognize Mr. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as the WBO Welterweight Champion of the World and vacate his title, for failing to comply with our WBO Regulations of World Championship Contests.
Mayweather may appeal to the Complaint and Grievance Committee within 14 days.
Meanwhile, WBO interim welterweight champion Timothy Bradley will now regain the full WBO championship.
