Last month Young Griffo held the WBC, IBF and the WBO LW titles. He put his WBO title on the line against Willie Fitzgerald and lost.

The LBA allows for a champion who loses one title to keep the other and go through a new title tourney. Since Griffo still held two he had to vacate one. He vacated the IBF since he had defended the WBC more times.

WBC title tourney

CH. Young Griffo (40-9-7) vs. 8. Jack Keenan (21-4-2) January
4. Frank Erne (24-9-2) vs. 5. Sam Bolen (22-14-2) December
2. Aurelio Herrera (26-11) vs. 7. Patsy Sweeney (21-13-2) December
3. Arthur Chambers (25-5-1) vs. 6. Battling Nelson (29-17-1) December

IBF Title Tourney

1. Jack McAuliffe (44-8-2) (post) vs. 8. Kid Fredericks (18-1-2) December
4. Freddie Welsh (24-8-1) vs. 5. Young Corbett (31-18-4) December
2. Jack Blackburn (32-13-6) vs. 7. Harry Lyons (36-20-1) January
3. Dave Holly (22-9-8) vs. 6. Knockout Brown (18-2-1) January

Now since we are at the end of the year some of these fighters might be up for retirement. If they retire they will be replaced by the commissioner's (me) choice.

Also Jack Blackburn has elected to fight a tune up in December, he has been told that if he loses he will be replaced.
