In a surprising turn of events, Ricardo Nunez and Jadier Herrera are set to battle for the WBC interim lightweight title, following OShaquie Fosters sudden title relinquishment. Nunez, ranked 1, and Herrera, ranked 3, will face off in Germany on January 10th. The WBCs decision to approve Fosters fight with Stephen Fulton as an interim title match sparked controversy, but Sulaiman took responsibility, explaining the need to support Fosters opportunity. Fulton, who missed weight, has since vacated his featherweight title, paving the way for Bruce Carrington and Carlos Castro to compete for that belt. This episode underscores the unpredictable nature of professional boxing and its impact on fighters and titles.
