IBF junior lightweight title remains vacant after Diaz, Rakhimov draw

Joseph "JoJo" Diaz and Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov fought to a majority draw Saturday in a fight for the vacant IBF junior lightweight title.

Two judges scored the fight 114-114, with a third scoring it in favor of Diaz (115-113).

The two fighters were evenly matched throughout the 12-round bout, with Rakhimov the busier of the two fighters and Diaz the more accurate.

Diaz's record is now 31-1-1 with 15 knockouts. Rakhimov, meanwhile, remains undefeated at 15-0-1 with 12 knockouts.

The title will remain vacant after Saturday's draw. Diaz was stripped of it Friday after failing to make weight for the division's 130-pound limit.

Diaz will be fined $100,000 for missing weight, ESPN's Marc Raimondi reports.
