Khan’s promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions told RingTV.com that the WBA title will be vacant for Khan and Garcia to fight over. Additionally, Garcia’s World Boxing Council 140 pound title will be up for grabs, despite the fact that Garcia was supposed to be fighting his mandatory challenger Ajose Olusegun, who was due a shot at the WBC belt. Schaefer told RingTV “I’ve got verbal confirmation that the WBA is going to have Amir fight for the WBA title, so that’s that. As it relates to the WBC, we already know that the fight is also going to be for the WBC title, so their fight will definitely be for two belts.” Read more: http://www.boxingnews24.com/2012/06/wba-strips-peterson-title-will-be-on-line-for-khan-garcia-fight/
Lol how is this messed up? How can they keep the belt with someone who was caught cheating? Clown, look who wrote that article, he's a nobody with no credibility, "william mckay" aka the number 1 Khan hater. Never use boxingnews24 as a source. And Peterson admitted using testosterone pellets before the November bout last year. http://ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/173591-schaefer-garcia-khan-will-be-for-wba-wbc-belts And for some reason the Peterson camp has yet to submit all the details required for the IBF to look over even this late, they only need his medical records which for some reason the Peterson camp is taking an age to submit!
