The decision permits Junior Witter and DeMarcus Corley, who has been training with Mayweather for the last six months, to face off for the vacant title. Mayweather's team had been informed by representatives of Ricky Hatton that a fight between the two could not be made until at least 2007. In his letter to the WBC Mayweather stated that he wanted to give two other boxers the opportunity to pursue their dreams of winning the green WBC belt and promised the WBC that he would look to fight for their titles at 147 and 154 in the near future.
