Denzel Bentley explains why he was stripped of WBO middleweight title

Denzel Bentley, WBO middleweight champion for 102 days, explained the reasons why the WBO stripped him of the title. The former champion signed a contract with Zuffa Boxing instead of Matchroom. Bentley will face Shane Mosley Jr on November 7 at Copper Box Arena in London in his debut with the new promoter.

Queensberry emphasizes the short duration of the reign, while independents focus on Bentley's contractual choice and his move to Zuffa Boxing.
