Mikey Garcia vacated his junior lightweight world title on Tuesday, and interim titlist Orlando Salido was elevated to full titleholder.

Garcia, who has won world titles in two weight classes but has not fought since January because he is embroiled in a dispute with promoter Top Rank, which he is suing, was due to face Salido in a mandatory fight. But with no plans to fight anytime soon and Garcia also facing problems getting down to 130 pounds, he vacated.

 

Garcia sent the WBO a letter letting the organization know about his decision, according to WBO president Paco Valcarcel.
