Cameroon-born title-holder Sakio Bika (28-3-2), now a resident of Australia, was stripped of his 168-pound title for inactivity, according to International Boxing Organization President Ed Levine. Bika won the championship in November 2008; but did not defend it and had not fought since a one-round TKO of Nestor Casanova in a light heavyweight bout last July. Levine said a bout for the now-vacant title was under final negotiation and would be announced soon. atsch [/FONT]
Sad story really. Entertaining fighter to watch, does anyone know why he is so inactive? Does he have another job?
