The World Boxing Council has made a decision to temporarily remove the recognition of Mexico's Alejandra 'Tigre' Jiménez as their super middleweight champion, while making a final determination about a setback with an anti-doping test prior to her fight with the Franchon Crews Dezurn on January 11.

Jimenez beat Crews-Dezurn by decision at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, but days later an adverse test result was revealed.

The "A-sample" of her doping test taken on January 10 came up positive for the banned steroid stanozolol. Jiménez requested the opening of her B-sample, assuring that she had never taken anything forbidden. And that testing process will happen on February 19 and it will be carried out by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA).

Golden Boy Promotions, who handle Crews-Dezurn, are pressing to have her titles returned to her. The WBO's world title was also at stake in that fight.

"Due to the adverse result, the WBC will provisionally suspend the recognition of super middleweight world champion Alejandra Jiménez until the investigation of the WBC and the process is finished," the agency revealed to ESPN Deportes.

With respect to the WBO, they are giving Jimenez a short period of time to submit an explanation as to why they shouldn't strip her of their world title.

Jiménez became the first fighter in history to win WBC's heavyweight title and then move down to capture the super middleweight belt. At the end of the battle against Crews-Dezurn, two of the three cards favored her by 97-93 and 98-92 tallies, while a third judge saw Crews-Dezurn win by 97-93.
