WBC suspends bantamweight Luis Nery

[baconCrunch]

reported in the news, espn:

The WBC decided to punish Nery for his unprofessionalism.
"The WBC has implemented several procedures which have worked for many years with absolute success, including changing the official weigh-in to one day before the fight, implementing the monitoring weigh-in 30 and seven days before the fight, etc.," the WBC said in a statement. "For a bantamweight champion to arrive at the official weigh-in five pounds over is simply unacceptable. The WBC is formally suspending Luis Nery indefinitely. Luis Nery will be mandated to appear at a hearing to conduct a thorough investigation of the circumstances."
The WBC's suspension does not mean Nery can't box. He will, however, be dropped from the WBC's rankings and is not eligible to box for any of its world or regional titles.

It probably will since I doubt Inoue will fight outside of Japan often. He's still got McDonnell to get through though.

The JBC have also sent their details to the WBA, WBO and IBF as well as the WBC, who have given Nery a punishment of their own and told Teiken to suspend 70% of Nery's purse until a hearing is held on the situation.
