He was stripped due to non-payment of fees. Mbilli will face Sheeraz for the belt. (even though Mbilli should be ugraded to the full status, but I guess not?) Usually the IBF are the ones who strip unified/undisputed champions. Kind of hard to say whether this is a political move by Sulaiman and the gang, to give Turki's protege a shot at the title, while also letting Canelo in the mix for the belt. The fragmentation of 168 was inevitable, but the way Crawford was stripped is rather lame.
