Will wlad be stripped of his titles

[ElTerribleMorales]

you'd only wish he would get stripped haha when was the last time Haye fought a mandatory? wasn't it Ruiz? and that was nearly a year ago, cause you know damn well Harrison wasn't a mandatory

its probably best not to turn this into another haye v wlad thread

we are talking about the heavyweight champ of the world not fighting for more than 9 months

IMO if he pulls out he should be stripped

of course you do haha cause that's the only way Haye will win either Klitschko's titles, luckily he's not going to pull out, and it has been 6 months since his last fight, he fought September 11th and against better opposition than Haye's last fight

No he won't and he shouldn't

[erics44]

No he won't and he shouldn't

why not?

9 months without a fight, could even push towards a year?

Per the WBO, Wlad has 12 months to defend his title against a mandatory challenger, but as always, the WBO has the ability to grant an exception to that time frame.

http://www.ibf-usba-boxing.com/userfiles/File/RulesGoverningChampionshipContestsEffectiveSeptemb er1_2006with10_21_10amendments.pdf The IBF also gives Wlad 12 months to defend his title against the mandatory challenger. The IBF does not mention any possibility of exception.

It's been six months since his mandatory defense against Sam Peter so that means he has another six months to defend it against a mandatory. Given the WBO's rules regarding exceptions, because of injuries, he may be permitted more time than that. One more thing, I'm pretty sure there are exceptions for unification fights (e.g. with David Haye). I hope this helps.

i am sure there are exceptions

That is what it appears. For non-heavyweights, it is every 9 months.

No he won't and shouldn't. He has apparently (according to the Mirror) said he is starting training in the next couple of weeks anyway. But even if he did pull out he is the HW champ IMO and luckily his main belt is the IBF who to me seem to be the most sensible when it comes to stripping fighters. They were the only body that kept Kostya Tszyu as their champion when he was out GENUINELY injured for some time and the WBA and WBC both stripped him. If he had no intention of fighting fair enough, but if an injury is genuine I don't like to see a legit champ stripped.

if he pulls out of the haye fight it will be 9+ months dude, and considering he will have to take time to recover further

when was the last time the hw champ didnt fight for that long?

im not bothered who has the titles, give them some other fat bum if you want, my question has nothing to do with haye
