According to an article published today on fightnews, the WBC have stripped Tim Bradley of the WBC light-welterweight title. Apparently, he had promised to fight mandatory Devon Alexander after the Kendall Holt fight, but is now no longer going to fulfill that obligation.

Therefore, Devon Alexander is set to fight Junior Witter, as they are 1 & 2 in the WBC rankings, with a purse bid on 22 May if nothing is agreed by then.

It may be one way for Britain to get back one of the world champions who have been dethroned over the past year, though Witter's had just one outing at the end of 08 since losing his title to Bradley. Most of the names, apart from DeMarcus Corley on the Alexander mean little to me, can any of our American friends tell me anything about this guy?
