Thanks, were you able to find any articles or media about this? Most of the major websites still list Jonas as champion.
It's in DAZN's official press release and was reported by the BBC and ESPN.

Oh interesting. Weird rule the IBF has, if you fight for an IBF belt in a different division than the one you are holding the title in then you are vacated. Similar to what they are doing w/ Charlo when he fights Canelo, though they're allowing him to be introduced as champion, then officially stripping him once that announcement is over. Do you think Jonas is officially stripped now of that IBF or are they waiting a bit to make it "official"?
According to the IBF's website, it's vacant. She said that she didn't necessarily want to vacate it, but she was noncommittal about staying at 154, so it seems that they made the decision for her.
Thanks for replying with this info by the way!
No problem.
