World Boxing Council champion Sugar Ray Leonard...

World Boxing Council champion Sugar Ray Leonard renounced his world super-middleweight title but left open whether he would continue his spectacular boxing career, the WBC said in a statement.

In a telephone call to WBC President Jose Sulaiman in Mexico City, Leonard said he had no plans to defend his title and offered his resignation on grounds that he was far below fight weight. Sulaiman accepted his decision, the statement said.
