The World Boxing Organisation (WBO) has stripped Floyd Mayweather Jr of the welterweight world title he won after beating Filipino Manny Pacquiao this year for failing to comply with rules.
Mayweather missed a deadline by which he had to pay a $US200,000.00 sanctioning fee from the fight and vacate the junior middleweight title he also held, the WBO said in a statement.
The WBO said it was against the rules for boxers to hold world titles in multiple weight classes and that Mayweather had to indicate which weight division he would retain.
