Tyler Black called FIP officials early this morning and informed them he will be unable to appear this evening in Crystal River due to a neck injury suffered last night in Chicago while wrestling for Danny Daniels' AAW.
Due to the potentially serious nature of his injury, and Tyler being unsure as to when he will be able to defend the FIP World Title, FIP officials informed him that they have no choice other than to strip him of the World Title and award it to Davey Richards tonight in Crystal River due to forfeit.
FIP prides itself on its titles being won and lost in the ring, and are disappointed that is not going to be the case this time, however the long term health of one of the best young athletes in wrestling is paramount. FIP wishes Tyler a speedy recovery and look forward to his return when healthy.

I can state for the record this is not a work or an angle, and everyone here hopes it turns out to be nothing serious for tyler to deal with and he misses no significant amount of time.
the decision to strip tyler was not an easy one to make but one fip felt necessary to ensure the title would continue to be defended regularly as scheduled.
tyler was to defend against davey and is unable so davey is awarded the title via forfeit. I am sure davey would rather have won it in the ring and tyler certainly loves to perform and was a great champion in his 4 months with the title, so while this is a difficult situation for all involved, it is what it is and we will move forward as best we can.
