Cuba’s Herrera lost his title on the scale as he failed to make the limit at the official weigh-in for his voluntary title defence against Jeff Ofori (UK). The interested parties had agreed that the championship could still take place, although the vacant belt was going to be only for Ofori. If the latter had won the fight in Dubai last May 13th he would have been the new champion. But, Herrera stopped the British challenger in four rounds and the title has now been definitively declared vacant.
