Timothy Bradley Vacates WBC Super Lightweight Championship
Don Jose:
It has been a privilege representing the World Boxing Council as its super lightweight champion for the past 12 months and no one was more proud to wear that illustrious green belt than I.
The WBC believed in me and recognized my victories, advancing my ratings accordingly. Because of your support I was able to challenge Junior Witter for the WBC title last year and defend it and unify it, and for that I will always be grateful. It is important that unified champions should be encouraged thus eliminating the title confusion that permeates the sport or the media that cover it and the fans who follow it.
However, because the WBC has issued an edict to choose between titles, it is with a heavy heart that I relinquish my WBC title and allow the contenders below me to challenge for it.
I will always cherish my reign as WBC super lightweight champion and I hope to have the opportunity to fight for that honor again.
Sincerely,
Timothy Bradley

Manny Pacquiao, Ricky Hatton news conference is a con jobAs with most boxing title matches, this lead-up show is not about the fighters but definitely about the window dressing. An old wives' tale claims they once held a boxing news conference and there was actual news.
