Corley Slated to Battle for Vacated WBC 140-Pound Title!

Former WBO Junior Welterweight champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley of DC may soon have an opportunity to win a second world title.

Corley (31-4-1, 17 KO's) who is ranked number two by the WBC, is slated to take on European Champion and WBC number one-ranked competitor Junior Witter of Bradford, England (33-1-2, 19 KO's) for the now-vacant WBC 140-pound crown sometime this summer. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. recently announced that he would stay at 147 pounds so he vacated the WBC title.

Witter is still scheduled to defend his European title on April 28 against Giuseppe Lauri in Varese, Italy.

    What a joke. Chop Chop has never beaten a top ten guy yet, and he gets a title shot? These org are bogus.

    many fighters get title shots based on who they are affiliated with i.e promoters.. :) as a fighter you have to align yourself with the "right" people and you will get a title shot. it is not the most deserving who get a shot, but the well connected, who get a shot..

    Another fake title with less-than-the-best squaring off for it. It may as well be for the South Central North Dakota championship.
