Hope your words will become true.

I hope so too. WBC has really had their heads up their asses on this one. Why not make Charlo champion in recess? Yet, it still goes on!

Next time they try to strip someone inactive less than 2 years, they'll have a lawsuit that will cripple their org.

I am athlete.
Seen this, I wouldn't have put that out if I were them.
Don't look good.

Adames should keep dreaming and hoping. Mall Charlo's next fight would probably be a soft-shake off the ring rust type of fight, having another extra-special approval from wbc. After that its the Canelo PAYDAY! And after that maybe is the Munguia PAYDAY!

Sorry Adames. Its all about money.

WBC Head Defends Jermall Charlo, Champion Status: 'I Do Not Regret a Single Moment'

World Boxing Council head is not about to backtrack on his very public support for middleweight titleholder Jermall Charlo.

Houston, Texas’ Charlo returned to action last month for the first time in nearly two-and-a-half years with a 10-round unanimous decision over Jose Benavidez Jr. in a 10-round bout that was set at a contract weight of 163 pounds. (Charlo, however, weighed in at over 166 pounds and was required to negotiate a fee with Benavidez in order for the fight to move forward.)

The embattled Charlo said he went through a series of serious mental health issues during his protracted layoff, which included the contentious falling out with his twin brother, Jermell, the former undisputed 154-pound champion. (Jermell was conspicuously absent ringside for his brother’s comeback fight against Benavidez Jr.) Charlo remained the WBC titlist throughout the period, and received repeated assurance from WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman Jr. that his organization would not strip him of his title.

But many pundits and fans have taken issue with Sulaiman’s leniency because of the way in which he seemed to bend the WBC’s own rules with regards to inactive champions, and how, in the case of Charlo, the top contender in the WBC’s middleweight division, Carlos Adames, suffered as a result.

The situation has appeared farcical to some because Charlo has indicated that he will move up a division for his next fight, to say nothing of Charlo’s apparent disdain for his middleweight belt.

In an interview with various reporters, Sulaiman offered a full-throated defense of Charlo when asked why Charlo was not made a “champion-in-recess” among other measures that conceivably would not have held the division up from proceeding apace.

“It’s easy to evaluate when you look back. Specifically Charlo, he had a fight contracted when he got injured by his hand,” Sulaiman said. “You can take away the whole period, six months, the whole period, because he was going to fight. Then he got injured and then we ordered the interim and then he had this mental breakdown. I will not anyway go against [Charlo].

“I’m very proud of us standing strong with Charlo. We had very private conversations in which he basically said, ‘Don’t take away from me the only thing that is keeping me alive, being the champion.’ In this specific case I do not regret a single moment. We are going to finalize whether he stays at 160 or not, and we will move on.”

As for Adames, Sulaiman said he believes the 29-year-old Dominican, despite being strung along, has been “very happy” nonetheless.

“I understand your point but I think Adames is very happy,” Sulaiman said. “He has made a very good money in this process. He’s in a good position to engage in a very big fight. For the overall, I believe those decisions have been correct.”

Charlo has been rumored to be a potential candidate to face 168-pound division champion Canelo Alvarez in the spring.

So the WBC belt is basically keeping Jermall alive..

I mean, the could strip him.. He still keeps the belt anyway

what a f@cking tit head sully is

it will be extra laughable if after all this time charlo just ends up vacating anyway

then what the hell was all this for?

Single biggest joke in boxing in recent years and will be for years to come.

Could've been named his 'champion in recess'

WBC do have their favourites.

Remember waiting for Adonis Stevenson to face an actual mandatory?
Dillian Whyte waiting years for his mando shot against Wilder?

Meanwhile you have another major organisation who strips fighting champions.....belts are starting to mean less and less, or should i say say certain belts are meaning less and less (which unfortunately has been the case for a long time).

id say sulaiman is getting some amazing texas stallion f@ckings or something from mall, and that's why theyre loving up on him so much

but im not sure mall even really cares much about the belt? he sures doesnt act like it, which makes it even weirder that the wbc is bending over for him

What a joke.

Charlo is #3 boxrec at MW now. This bothers me more than Sulaiman's "love affair" with him.

So basically:

Reporter: "Why isn't Mall Charlo stripped already?"
Malls Lover Sulaiman: "Because he's a little cutie patootie."

And he has the nerves to say that Adames is "very happy".
All that only for him to go up in weight, vacate his title and waste all our time.
That's a bad joke..

Yup, that paper belt is somehow a "bargaining chip" for when Mall is gonna cash in vs Canelo , something like the mw champion vs smw champion fight. lol

Poor Adames.

We thought we could trust boxrec to be independent, to stick to their own rules and guidelines.
We were wrong.
