The undefeated pugilist was removed from the top position under the rankings of the World Boxing Organization (WBO) rankings. He was dropped all the way to the sixth position. Dangerous contender Raymundo Beltran is now sitting in the mandatory slot, which puts him in line for a crack at WBO lightweight king Terry "Turbo" Flanagan of the UK.
Last year, Verdejo was involved in a motorcycle accident and suffered numerous injuries that derailed a planned fight with WBO champion Terry Flanagan in the fall. The fight was initially eyed for earlier this year and then targeted for this fall, but it continued to get pushed back and the WBO has finally lost it's patience.
