    Nate Campbell has just failed to make the weight for his fight with Funeka but the fight will go ahead with the titles on the line for Funeka only.

    So if Campbell wins, I guess the WBO title will be vacant.

    I bet Warren will work his magic with the WBO to make them sanction Khan-Barrera for the vacant title.

    Wales are 1/4 to beat England tomorrow.

    The odds on this being for the WBOGUS title are much shorter. Sort of 1/1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

    It isn't even a world title anyway, so who really cares?

    The WBO might not strip him then, but its been 11 months since he made 135 so my guess is they will.

    WBO rules:

    Overweight Contestants

    If a World Champion fails to make the prescribed weight for his category and the challenger makes weight, the Champion shall lose the title at the scales, and the Championship shall then and there be declared vacant. The Championship may not, however, be won at the scales. The fight shall be carried out as planned, and if the challenger, having made the weight, wins the contest, the challenger shall be the successor of the Championship; but if the prior Champion whose Championship was vacated at the scales wins the contest, the championship shall remain vacant.

    If the Champion makes the weight and the challenger fails to do so, the Champion, whether or not he loses the fight, shall retain the title.

    If both the Champion and the challenger fail to make weight, the Championship shall not be vacated at the scale and the fight will go forward as a non-title fight and the Champion, whether or not he loses the fight, shall retain the title.

    That last part is strange.....the champion being stripped can depend on whether the challenger makes the weight????
