WBO president Gustavo Olivieri explained his organization's procedure that will be followed to determine a new champion. In particular, the WBO lightweight (135 pounds) title is vacant because Keyshawn Davis failed to make weight for his scheduled title defense last weekend. According to Oilivieri, here are the WBO procedures when any of tyis world titles are declared vacant: (1) the Championships Committee selects the two best-ranked available contenders (or, in some cases, the top four for a box-off) to compete for the vacancy. (2) Once contenders are chosen, they are allotted up to thirty days to negotiate (order) to finalize and sign a contract for the title bout. (3) If no agreement is reached within that period, WBO President or any of the parties may call purse bid, which must occur ten days thereafter. (4) Any of the parties may call purse bid proceedings at any time during the negotiation stage. (5) If a purse bid is held, the winner of bid must conduct the bout in a period no less than 45 days or more than 90 days from the adjudication of the promotional rights.
