you never know its up to the WBA since they alway do whatever they want. I remember Virgil Hill once won a vacant regular Cruiser belt, lost to Henry Maske in some unsanctioned bout but keept the belt. WBA Ruls say.. Non-Title Bout Loss. A loss in any bout, including a non-title or non-sanctioned bout, may result in loss of the boxers title or contender status.
