Will Alvarez leave the IBF title vacant?

Saul Alvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs) will soon vacate the IBF super middleweight world championship belt and therefore will no longer be the outright champion at the 168-pound weight limit. This is stated by the website Boxingscene.

Yesterday, the International Boxing Federation's governing body officially committed Canelo to defend his title against Cuban William Scull (22-0, 9 KOs) and scheduled a promotional bidding process for June 6. However, the 33-year-old Mexican has other plans for the near future and would rather give up one of his belts than step into the ring with a little-known opponent.
