Wasn't that a mandatory though? Mind you, since when did the WBO enforce their mandatories? I thought normally you had a quiet word with them, and they got back to their paper shuffling.
He would've lost his title if he didn't go to Germany for Veit.

Universum had won the purse bid for Calzaghe-Veit, and didn't bother to let anyone know until about 2 days before Cazlaghe-Magee. Though it was over a month away, you're not allowed a voluntary defense with xx days of the mandatory.

Universum clearly wanted Calzaghe to vacate, but I'm sure that was a huge fight anyway that made everyone plenty of money when it went ahead.

Has Lacy actually stated this recently?

This smells like a press release concocted to have a bit more fun abusing Lacy & to stop people talking about Joe's next opponent for a few minutes.
