He didn’t need to drop the belt, he was cleared to fight the Commey/Lopez winner then he would have been forced to fight Haney. They requested(and don’t let people lie about this, it was not bestowed on him, they REQUESTED it) it because they didn’t want to fight him at all. It had nothing to do with being free to fight the Commey/Lopez winner. He was free to become undisputed and chose to give that opportunity up rather than fight Haney after. And that’s the point, ESPN has shown they are quite comfortable lying, don’t let them.
I should point out, they put in this duck request MONTHS AGO when Haney started saying he was coming for them. Now that he’s here boom, franchise! We need to acknowledge the horse crap this is
