I couldn't find the thread from a few weeks ago with people wondering what's happening with him. Well he's still having problems getting a fight.

Following representations made by the British Boxing Board of Control the Directors of the Commonwealth Boxing Council used their discretionary powers to grant special extensions to Light Heavyweight Champion Peter Oboh and Featherweight Champion Nicky Cook both of whom, having failed to meet defence requirements, were due to have their Titles declared vacant.

Despite two purse offers put out by the Council for a mandatory defence against Daniel Sackey of Ghana no bids were received and Oboh has been granted an extension until 30th June 2005 to contract a defence against one of the rated challengers on the attached list. In the event that he is unable to do this the Title will automatically be declared vacant without further reference to the Directors.

Still no word? There was a more recent thread done last month but that was along similar "when's oboh going to get a fu..." as opposed to actual developments.

Any word on an opponent?

Cook only just won the title, shocked their already pushing a mandatory on him.

Ok, ok, maybe I picked the wrong post to bring this back up, or should have made myself clearer. That first post by me was at the start of May this year, with the BBBC as source.

The board gave Oboh and Cook extensions until 30th June THIS YEAR to find an opponent. Obvioulsy Cook found one in Dazzo Williams, but as of now, as far as I've heard, Oboh still has no opponent.

Has he been given another exptension, or has he been stripped?

I was thinking like Rhino, but thought - thats a massive extension.
