    If he's taking a year out can he sit on his belt or does he have to relinquish it??

    He keeps it most likely then WBC will make an interim champ while kessler is out.

    WBC strips kessler of title. Kessler sues WBC. WBC files for bankrupcy, creates 12 more tiles for each weight class and signs a lifelong binding contract with don king, who together take over boxing and it forever loses its dignity.

    trust me. almost 4% of my predictions come true. :good

    Thats it. The WBC belt will be in the SS tournament - but Kessler will be some kind of super champion most likely. And will have the right to fight the new owner of the "interim" belt.

    I'd have to check again but I thought Sauerland said that he vacated the belt and that when (if) he is fit to fight again then he will be first to fight the holder.

    I've got a feeling that he won't be returning. If he does, we know he needs the cash.

    Well i'd assume Kessler would have to vacate, despite this actually being one of those times when having an interim champion would be applicable. and hopefully the froch vs abraham fight is for the title as they are rated 2 and 3 by the wbc respectively after dirrell. in which case it would stay in the tournament. but seeing as i'm thinking wishfully i doubt that would happen.

    he has vacate. Froch vs Abraham will be for the vacant title. Kessler will get a guaranteed shot at the holder when he returns.

    sounds like the general consensus is Kessler will be made Champion in Recess. Meanwhile, the WBC will trip over itself to make an interim, silver, Mhyrr, and unobtanium champions while Kessler is out.

    Kessler gave the title up willingly as part of his decision to not delay the tournament by waiting for his injury to heal.

    Yeh I also heard Froch V AA for the title then Kessler gets a shot when he comes back from injury. So Froch V Kessler 2 on the cards.
