Heavyweight Title Vacant As Schmeling Fails To Defend
Max Schmeling must vacate the heavyweight crown after failing to defend under NBA rules. The German champ won the title from Jack Sharkey in 1930 and defended once against Young Stribling in 1931, but the NBA does not recognize him as champion. Schmeling is not acknowledged by the NBA or major international bodies, leaving the title effectively vacant.
