He got TKO by Ward at 168, wll his World Title at 175 automatically get stripped? I'm not sure about this rule. Thanks for giving me the knowledge. By the way, Dawson paid the high price to fight Ward at 168. I warned him many times to think about it but he didn't listen to me.
The fight was for Ward's belt, since it was at his weightclass. Technically, you cant lose your belt if the fight is at another weightclass, though Sulaiman will flex that rule from time to time
