    Since March 31, 2023, the clash was to take place to unify Minimumweight' WBA world title. The regular WBA champion Erick Rosa who wanted to bring the fight to the Dominican Republic or the United States, lost the auction against the Thai clan of WBA Super Champion Niyomtrong "Knockout CP Freshmart". After negotiations the neutral ground of Cambodia was chosen, but ultimately the Dominican just left the belt vacant and moved up the category by moving to the LightFlyweight division :

    Niyomtrong's last fight was on July 20, 2022. Do you think he will be removed as champion for inactivity?

    God I love the WBA!
    Also, BBN might want to add additional context to that sentence.

    Almost 2 years of inactivity is huge for Niyomtrong, Dusmatov is apparently busy in amateur boxing. But Niyomtrong will have to return to almost 34 soon against the Argentine boxer Leandro Blanc or against the Japanese Yuni Takada.
