This witch hunt against Tyson is very sad to see.

Really is ridiculous from the IBF. Who the hell is Charles Martin? I suppose if Fury can get past Klitschko again he should be able to regain it handy enough against Glazkov, no doubt by then they'll have stripped him of another belt.

Meanwhile Wilder has managed to avoid Povetkin yet again and has chosen his next opponent.

If I'm thinking of the right guy then Martin is a good fighter. High work rate for a heavy and a good dig on him. He's the gut that walloped Dallas in a round recently right?

That's the guy according to boxrec! Tom dallas though, we're talking about fighting for a world title. Can anyone explain how he was chosen?

What could Tyson do? The rematch was called by Wlad so its not his Tyson's choice to duck Glazkov. Seems like Tyson is going to have tougher fights outside the ring.

You wanna ask the IBF that question.

Fury was the WBO mandatory. He accepted the rematch clause because Wlad offered him more money. He would have known this was coming.

Paying Glaskov some step-aside dough would presumably have been an option for Fury, but I haven't heard that he tried.

"Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved"

The latest quote from Tyson Fury when questioned on the news in the UK about his controversial statements in recent days.

He said it over and over, fending of every question put to him. It was funny stuff.

Fighters get stripped of titles the whole time, why such butt hurt here???

Most boxers laugh it off. He's still WBA champ

Fighters who get stripped are usually the likes of Ward, Froch and Rigo who were inactive for too long aka a year plus. Fury won the belt only two weeks ago, two bloody weeks. It's a disgrace he was stripped so early. I know you hate his guts and cannot put that to the side, but regardless who it is, being stripped less than a month after winning a title is a joke.

It's nothing to do with that, he's signed a deal and didn't payoff the mandatory challenger

No doubt, as he is a firm believer in the bible it's because he's already given all his money to the poor

Lots of boxers who hold some of their belts release a few

IBF clarification:

Press Release (December 9, 2015): The IBF Heavyweight World Title, which was won by Tyson Fury on November 28, 2015 when he beat the reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko in an optional defense of this title, was vacated on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 by the IBF as Tyson Fury is unable to make the mandatory defense of the IBF title against challenger Vyacheslav Glaskov because he is contractually obligated to a rematch with Klitschko, which is in direct violation of the IBF/USBA Rules Governing Championship Contests.

On November 30, 2015, the IBF reminded Tyson Fury via an email in care of Hennessy Sports that the bout on November 28 was considered a mandatory defense of both the WBA and WBO Heavyweight titles and that his next bout was to be the IBF mandatory defense against Vyacheslav Glazkov, the #1 contender and the leading available contender for the IBF mandatory defense. This bout was due next in the rotation of mandatory defenses of the titles. Furthermore, Fury was informed that negotiations with Glazkov should commence immediately and be concluded by December 30, 2015. He was advised that if an agreement was not reached between the two parties by December 30, 2015, the IBF would call for a purse bid. Glazkov’s promoter Main Events was copied on this letter.

On December 1, 2015, the IBF received a letter via email from Patrick C. English on behalf of Main Events indicating that Main Events was unwilling to negotiate and requested that the IBF order an immediate purse bid in accordance with Rule 10.A. of the IBF/USBA Rules Governing Championship Contests. Rule 10.A. cites in part: “If the camps are unable to come to an agreement as to the promotion of a title bout in the initial thirty (30) day negotiation period, or if one of the camps certifies in writing during the negotiation period that he is not willing to participate in negotiations, the President of the IBF/USBA shall notify each registered promoter that a purse offer will be held.” Accordingly, the IBF ordered a purse bid to be held on December 11, 2015.

Following the title fight between Klitschko and Fury, the IBF became aware for the first time that there was a contractual agreement between both fighters for an immediate rematch. There were no provisions for any rematch in the contracts which were submitted to the IBF prior to the IBF agreeing to sanction the Klitschko vs. Fury bout. Rule 3.B. of the IBF/USBA Rules Governing Championship Contests states:

“No contract for a Championship contest shall contain any clause or any provision, whatsoever, guaranteeing or in any way assuring or promising either contestant a return Championship contest where such clause or provision interferes with the mandatory defense of a title.”

Had the IBF been aware of a clause in the contract that violated this rule, the parties would have been mandated to agree in writing to stage this rematch after the completion of the IBF mandatory defense. If the parties did not agree, the title fight with Tyson Fury would not have been sanctioned by the IBF.

In a letter sent to the IBF by Harbottle & Lewis, the legal counsel retained by Hennessy Sports and Tyson Fury, the IBF was asked to consider and exercise their discretion under the IBF’s regulations and direct that an immediate rematch for the IBF Championship take place between Fury and Klitschko. This rematch is in direct violation of an IBF rule and the IBF will not order a rematch under these circumstances.

Wladimir Klitschko has exercised his right to the contractual option agreed upon between himself and Tyson Fury for an immediate rematch, thus rendering Tyson Fury unable to make the mandatory defense of the IBF title next. The direct rematch between Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury interferes with the mandatory defense of the IBF Heavyweight title and is in violation of Rule 3.B. of the IBF/USBA Rules Governing Championship Contests. Consequently, the title has been vacated in accordance to Rule 3.C.2. of the IBF/USBA Rules Governing Championship Contests which states: “Upon violation of this Rule, the Championship involved shall forthwith be declared vacant.”

On December 8, 2015 the IBF ordered #1, Vyacheslav Glazkov and #4, Charles Martin to begin negotiations for the vacant Heavyweight title. The IBF received a written certification from Warriors Boxing who represents Martin, stating that he was not willing to participate in negotiations and therefore requested an immediate purse bid according to IBF Rule 10A. The purse bid had been scheduled Friday, December 18, 2015 at 12 Noon.

I think they've been very open about this. Simply following their own rules. The reason it's an unsatisfactory outcome is that the alphabet orgs shouldn't exist at all.
