The World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight Championship title was vacated today(Sept 23) after Badou Jack sent a letter to the organization, in which he expressed his desire to give up the belt.
Jack thanked the WBA for the opportunity given to him to fight for the title against Welshman Nathan Cleverly on August 28, when he defeated his rival by TKO in the fifth round.
Thus, the purse bids scheduled for Monday, September 25, between Badou Jack and Russian Dmitry Bivol were suspended.
