Wow.
Tyson Fury has been sensationally stripped of his World heavyweight IBF title – less than a fortnight after winning the belt against Wladimir Klitschko.
Lindsey Tucker, championships chairman at the IBF, confirmed to BBC Sport: “It’s true he’s been stripped of his IBF belt.”
“Our challenger was Vyacheslav Glazkov, but instead Fury’s gone and signed a re-match clause with Wladimir Klitschko.”
Klitschko recently confirmed he had taken up the clause in the contract for last month’s fight in Dusseldorf fight for a rematch in 2016, with the date and the venue have to be decided.
