Shawn Yarborough stripped of WBC Muay Thai National Light Heavyweight Title


Light Heavyweight Shawn Yarborough has been stripped of his 175 lb WBC Muay Thai USA National Title. Muay Thai Authority confirmed that the decision was made last night by the WBC Muay Thai office in Bangkok, Thailand.

Yarborough last defended his title over a year ago on April 17th of 2010 -- when he defeated Tom Munro via first round TKO. Since then, Yarborough lost back to back fights to Stephan Richards and Brandon Bandon, both by unanimous decision. His WBC Muay Thai USA title was not up for grabs in either of those fights. Yarborough ended his two- fight skid by defeating Chris Romulo via split decision on May 14th in another non-title fight which took place in the lower super-middleweight division.

Yarborough is the first WBC Muay Thai USA National title holder to be stripped to date, but he might not be the last. There are quite a few champions that have not defended their titles in over a year.
