Can someone explain why some fans still make a big deal of this, when it's clearly not?
Next Monday is Juneteenth.
On that day it will be 730 days since Jermall’s last fight. A full two years that he’s been holding up the WBC rankings and he still hasn’t been stripped of his belt yet.
What has happened to this guy? I thought he's fighting this June... If he's having issues, why can't he just drop the belt and let others fight for it.
This guy got a lot of options in his own PBC house yet he still chooses to not fight.
Benavidez, Morrell, Adames, Lara, Andrade, there's this guy who just murked Hurd, what's his name?
Prolonging his unbeaten streak by 600 days enhances his legacy. As Tyson Fury once said to Eddie Chambers as Chambers was commentating when he was fighting Joey Abel, "All in good time, Eddie."
Is there another champion that hasn’t fought in 668 days?
No. For a high-profile fighter and belt holder, Jermall Charlo is one of a kind. I have no idea who has that record in the past.
Spence, Thurman, Ugas, Jermell, are just inches away from one year absence since their last fights.
If no announcement is made this month regarding his next fight, he's going to make it to the 2 years mark.
Mauricio Sulaiman just said they have no problem with him not making a defense in all this time, and that they support him.
I wonder how much Al Haymon bribed them with?
658 days since his last fight.
And Juneteenth is fast approaching to make it a full 2 years.
If no announcement is made this month regarding his next fight, he's going to make it to the 2 years mark.
Which is why I changed my name to "fumiphobic" to keep up with the boxing times.
