The WBC Declares Vacant World Light Flyweight Championship

The WBC declares today vacant the light fly weight championship, since laboratory tests confirmed a

positive result in methanphetamin exams for Omar Niño, after his bout against Brian Viloria last August

10th.

The WBC considers that Niño has not voluntarily incurred in this fault and due to his clean career and the

lack of uniformity within process made in Nevada, if its compared with our rules, we declare as well that

Niño will be challenger of the new world champion.

Number one ranked, Brian Viloria, from USA, should fight against number 2, Mexican Edgar Sosa.

The WBC is obligated to respect the tests results made in Nevada, with whom we always have had good

relationship, and we are obligated also to respect that Commission disposition, specially when tests were

presented as positives.
