Left the wbo rankings when Bud was making nothing but mandatory and voluntary defenses then turned down Buds offer.

Nice try though.

Former welterweight king and having fought no one of note

I'm surprised they didn't install him as super champion.

Why bother fighting when the sanctioning bodies will move you up the rankings anyway if you're an American "A sider"?

"Let them fight the fight" means nothing nowadays when belts are sent via email ...

I think Jermell might be fighting Abbas Baraou before Ennis gets a shot! That would be a nice setup for Ennis vs. Charlo! If Baraou beats Charlo, then we definitely know he's official!

Jermell Charlo to earn world title shot following Canelo-Crawford
By Oscar Pick
Published Aug 25 2025

"Based on that, it seems that the WBA has made a rather generous concession, allowing Charlo to secure an immediate world title shot in his first fight back.

Before the 35-year-old is presented with an opportunity to reclaim his black and gold strap, though, we must first await the result of Canelo’s blockbuster super-middleweight clash with Terence Crawford.

After that, it is expected that Crawford will be promptly stripped of his WBA world super-welterweight title, the same belt he seized after outpointing Israil Madrimov last year.

That much has been reported by boxing journalist Dan Rafael who, via a social media post yesterday, has also suggested that Charlo will be ordered to face WBA ‘interim’ champion Abass Baraou..."

"It was just over 24 hours ago that Baraou pulled off a sizable upset against Yoenis Tellez, his industrious performance seeing him emerge with a unanimous decision victory.

As a result, the German has placed himself in a desirable position moving forward, especially if he is able to earn himself a lucrative world title shot against Charlo."
