Floyd Mayweather has officially been stripped of the WBO welterweight belt he took from Manny Pacquaio in May.
Floyd Mayweather has officially been stripped of the WBO welterweight belt he took from Manny Pacquaio in May.
Mayweather claimed the first WBO title of his career when a wide points verdict against Pacquiao took his unbeaten record to 48-0.
Boxing's pound-for-pound king later hinted at relinquishing one or more of his multiple belts ahead of one final fight in September this year, only to object when the WBO sanctioned a contest for its vacant title between Timothy Bradley and Jesse Vargas.
The organisation relented and gave Mayweather a deadline to meet its criteria for a champion, including making a payment of $200,000 from his Pacquiao purse and giving up his WBC and WBA light-middleweight titles.
