RESOLUTION to SANCTION INTERIM WBO CHAMPIONSHIP

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to the WBO Rules, and due to the inactivity of WBO Middleweight Champion Dmitry Pirog who has fought only twice in a 19 month period, the WBO World Championships Committee has sanctioned an Interim WBO Middleweight Championship bout between Hassan D’ Dam v Max Bursak on May 4, 2012. The winner of this bout must face the division champion.

Please be aware that on July 31, 2010 Dmitry Pirog became the WBO Middleweight Champion with a TKO 5 over . As he won a vacant title, he had 180 days until his Mandatory due date of January 31, 2011. However, due to his inactivity, Dmitry was given the opportunity to do a Voluntary bout on March 26, 2011 against Javier Francisco Maciel with a UD12 win. Some 14 (fourteen) months later, on September 25, 2011 Mr. Pirog was successful by RTD 10 in a Mandatory defense against Gennady Martirosyan.
