Sanders relinquishes
WBO title!
07.10 - On Tuesday Vernon Smith, promoter of WBO heavyweight
champion Corrie Sanders, informed boxingpress.de, the
leading internet source for german boxing fans, of his
fighter's decision to relinquish the WBO heavyweight
title.
The decision was made due to "insurmountable disagreements
concerning the signing of a contract with Universum
Box Promotion" said Smith. The wrangle had already
forced Sanders to pull out of his scheduled October
18 title defence against WBO-#1 Lamon Brewster in Hamburg.
The root of Sanders's problem with german promoters
Universum is a pre-fight contract he was forced to sign
to secure his March 8 shot against Wladimir Klitschko.
Because of his win against the Ukrainian, that contract
is effective for his next four fights. The 37- year-old
south african is now confident to secure a top ranking
at the annual WBC convention in Moscow he attends since
Sunday.
