This is no excuse for this he has only fought two mandatory in 21 defence,it can only be done,because it was WBO,he got stripped from his IBF-belt,because he will not fight his mandatory and that came he up with,a tv-star MANFREDO,what a joke
When it comes to mandatories, the IBF is a joke
Wlad Klitschko obliged the IBF and fought Ray Austin. It might as well of been Ray Hatton

Honestly,the IBF stripping its champion for not fighting their 'mandatories' is by and large a regular affair.
