1.1K sharesBy Tim Royner: Saul Canelo Alvarez has vacated his WBA ‘regular’ super middleweight title, according to Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. Canelo vacating WBA secondary 168-lb title = predictable moveThis is a predictable move on Canelo Alvarez’s part in relinguishing his WBA title, since it was a low prestige secondary title with little value. Callum Smith is considered to be the REAL WBA super middleweight champion by virtue of his win over George Groves last year. In the meantime, Hearn wants Callum to be available to fight Canelo Alvarez or WBO super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders. If Ryder beats Lennox for the WBA ‘regular’ 168lb title, he WON’T be seen as the champion by the boxing public.
