WBO to strip Mayweather of welterweight title

Floyd Mayweather Jr. may start to lose one of the title belts he won in his mega fight against Manny Pacquiao.

ESPN’s Dan Rafael reported Mayweather may lose the WBO Welterweight title as the WBC/WBA Light Middleweight Champion has not complied with the organization’s policies.

“According to @WorldBoxingOrg Floyd has not complied with the rules by today’s 4:30 pm ET (Eastern Time) deadline,” Rafael posted on Twitter Saturday morning (Manila time).

In a report from BoxingNews34.com, the WBO has ordered Mayweather to vacate his WBC/WBA Welterweight titles on July 3rd US Eastern Time and give the WBO a sanctioning fee for the title.

Once Mayweather is stripped of the WBO Welterweight title, the WBO would then give the full title to interim champion Timothy Bradley.
