Terence Crawford, the former undisputed super-middleweight champion, has been stripped of his WBC title due to non-payment of sanctioning fees for his last two fights, including his victory over Canelo Alvarez. The WBC announced that Crawford failed to respond to multiple communications and was placed on notice for violating rules, leading to the title being declared vacant. The WBC has now mandated British boxer Hamzah Sheeraz to fight Canadian Christian Mbilli for the vacant super-middleweight title. Sheeraz, known for his knockout power and recent victory over Edgar Berlanga, is positioned as a top contender, with his promoter expressing confidence in his future as a world champion. The division's status was further clarified during the WBC convention in Thailand, where the organization emphasized its commitment to supporting fighters through the José Sulaimán Fund, which provides humanitarian aid to fighters in need. Crawford's brief reign as undisputed champion began after his impressive win over Canelo Alvarez, but his failure to pay fees has led to the loss of his title and an opening for new contenders.
