Josh Taylor (19-0, 13 KOs) was stripped of his WBA super lightweight title. The association stripped the Scot of the title for refusing to fight the mandatory challenger Alberto Puello.
The tender for the organization of this fight was scheduled for April 22. Taylor's team at first failed to take part in the competition for promotional applications, and then refused to sign a contract for the fight.
A boxer from Great Britain, after the February fight with Jack Catterall, announced that he would move to welterweight, but had not yet officially left his belts in the weight category up to 63.5 kg vacant.
