Kevin Satchell (14-0) has been stripped of the EBU flyweight title as he never returned a signed contract for the often-postponed fight against mandatory challenger Thomas Masson (13-3-1).

The fight was first on for France on July 18, and then moved to London July 24 and it was then back to France with September 12 as the date.

Masson will now face the highest available contender on September 12 and don´t be too surprised if the touted Vincent Legrand (16-0 and reigning EU champ) accepts the challenge.

Lenny Daws (30-3-2) has Ruben Nieto (16-1) as co-challenger for the vacant EBU super lightweight title. The EBU are now calling for purse bids that expire on September 10.

 

The title was left vacant by Michele Di Rocco.
