Let's have a hypothetical situation, here.
If Canelo loses his next fight, would the person that beats him be granted a voluntary defense? What if this person's mandatory is still Charlo? Does this person get a voluntary defense as well?
The irony here is the WBC was telling GGG if he didn't fight Canelo in a rematch that they would declare he needs to fight his mandatory in Charlo. Now that Canelo is wearing their belt, they're suddenly backpedaling and saying Canelo get's a voluntary. On the other hand, they are now saying Golovkin has to fight Charlo?
Honestly, this sounds more to me like the WBC wants to protect their golden goose. Probably hoping like hell Golovkin gets the victory and gets damaged & aged more before fighting Canelo against in a 3rd fight.
Charlo vs Heiland was the first WBC title eliminator to become mandatory against Canelo vs Golovkin. Then they ordered Charlo vs Centeno for WBC interim title.
If I was Jermall I would try to fight Golovkin, but I would also consider legal action against the WBC if that fight falls through (assuming it's even viable).
